Swimming Australia revealed a trio of high-profile events that are set to take place at the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre.
The Australian Age and MC Age and Open Swimming Championships will call the open-air venue home for the next six years, spanning the 2026, 2028 and 2030 editions.
The elite competition typically draws more than 3500 athletes and injects nearly $13 million (~$7.9 million USD) into the local economy.
Swimming Australia Executive General Manager of Commercial Jodie Hawkins said of the announcement, “We’ve had a lot of success hosting this event previously on the Gold Coast and four pools at the venue and the Easter school holidays is a perfect fit for the 3500+ athletes and the swimming community.”
“The long-term commitment also provides our community the certainty to plan their calendars and the 2026, 2028 and 2030 National Championships events will provide a glimpse of the emerging talents who will compete at the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, 2028 LA Olympics and Paralympics and 2032 Brisbane Games.
“This long-term commitment wouldn’t be possible without the support of Tourism and Events Queensland, the Queensland Government, Experience Gold Coast and the City of Gold Coast. They are great supporters of swimming and we look forward to continuing the collaboration.”
