Swimming Australia- Inclusive Swimwear Policy

Implementation of policies that reflect the club’s commitment to welcome and inclusion.

In April 2021, Swimming Australia announced the release of a ground-breaking, nationwide Inclusive Swimwear Policy.

The Inclusive Swimwear Policy will allow all swimmers at all competition levels to wear alternative or modified swimwear, guaranteeing no swimmer is excluded or discriminated against on the basis of competitive swimwear.

Swimming Australia’s President, Kieren Perkins said he was proud to release this new policy. “Choice is an important enabler of inclusion,” Perkins said. “I am excited that this new policy will encourage participation in all levels of swimming by offering greater choice in swimwear that accommodates and supports the individual needs of our competitive swimming members.”
