Queensland has become the centre of swimming excellence and remains one of the world\u2019s most successful swimming regions in the world, with the Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast producing and attracting Australia\u2019s finest swimmers.<\/p>\n

Just two weeks ago over 400 delegates converged onto the Gold Coast for the annual Swim Coaches And Teachers Australia Conference which will return to The Star Gold Coast from September 16-18, 2023.<\/p>\n

The Gold Coast Aquatic Centre has played host to the 2014 Pan Pacs, the 2018 Commonwealth Games and the 2021 Australian Age and Open Championships.<\/p>\n

Swimming Australia is also due to announce details of next year\u2019s Trials for the 2023 Fina World Championships set for Fukuoka between July 14 and 30 with an announcement set in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

In announcing the 2023 event, Swimming Australia CEO, Eug\u00e9nie Buckley<\/strong>, said it was exciting to have the event amalgamated once again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Australian Championships are a wonderful celebration of our sport at all levels and it\u2019s fantastic to see it delivered as a fully integrated event once again following the challenges of these past few years,\u201d Buckley said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo see our leading Olympic and Paralympic stars alongside that next wave of talent is not only an illustration of the incredible depth in Australian swimming, but also the enduring passion for our sport across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very fortunate to host an event of this scale at a world leading high performance hub like the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre, which will provide a fitting stage for what will undoubtedly be an outstanding fortnight of performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event has the full backing and support of the Queensland State Government and Gold Coast City Council.<\/p>\n

State Tourism and Sport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe<\/strong> said the 2023 Australian Age and Open Championships were supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland. Tom Tate, Stirling Hinchliffe,\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited about securing the biggest annual event on Australian swimming\u2019s calendar for the Gold Coast in 2023,\u201d Mr Hinchliffe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore high-performance sport is looking to Queensland to maximise the opportunities of our green and gold runway to the 2032 Games and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Queensland Government is committed to attracting more elite events like the 2023 Australian Championships to deliver an early 2032 Games legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cSwimming\u2019s 2023 Age and Open Championships will bring more than 5,000 competitors and spectators to the Gold Coast and invest $5.26 million in the visitor economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpgraded for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre is a terrific example of infrastructure legacy supporting jobs, the visitor economy and Queensland\u2019s great lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event will also be delivered in conjunction with Major Events Gold Coast, continuing the fantastic relationship between Swimming Australia and the City of Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a huge coup to have another national championship at Gold Coast Aquatic Centre as it underscores the legacy benefits of hosting the games almost five years ago,\u2019\u2019 said Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to see the 2023 program will integrate able-bodied and para-athletes. In 2018, we set the benchmark for this format through our GC2018 Commonwealth Games program, and the tradition continues.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Australia will also play host to the 2022 Fina World Short Course Championships from December 13-18, when the best swimmers in the world arrive into the Melbourne Sports And Aquatic Centre \u2013 its first World Championships since the 2007 World Long Course, also held in Melbourne.<\/p>\n
