for Swimming Australia for the purposes of informing Pathway Program selections and daily training environment support through categorisation.<\/p>\n<p>Selection will be based on the current selection criteria and as per international preparation the teams will participate in a Preparation Camp in July.<\/p>\n<p>National Youth Coach <strong>Glenn Beringen<\/strong> acknowledged the decision was the right one and that it was critical to provide a supplementary competition for the athletes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to the ongoing effects of the pandemic this is the right decision, and I am pleased we are still going to get the chance to recognise the performances of these athletes and provide a platform for them to compete after selection,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am incredibly proud of how our pathway athletes and coaches have navigated through this tough period with many of them being out of the water for a considerable length of time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have not had a benchmark event for our pathway athletes since 2019 and with Paris 2024 only three years away it is critical that we provide this racing opportunity to assist in their readiness for international competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey will also have the chance to pull on the green and gold at this event which we know is such a wonderful moment for any young athlete \u2013 we didn\u2019t want them to miss out on this experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Australian Age Championships<\/strong> will be conducted at the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre from April 8-12, followed by the <strong>Australian
