Nine’s Director of Sport, Brent Williams, said: “With the countdown to Paris 2024 well and truly underway, Swimming will play an important role in our plans to showcase Australia’s world class athletes on their journey to the largest sporting event in the world.”

“Our established heroes of the pool will be on show at the Australian Championships but prior to that, the Australian Age Championships (under 13-18) will provide an exciting arena for the stars of tomorrow to emerge as they dream of Los Angeles and Brisbane.

“The anywhere, anytime viewing opportunity that 9Now provides for all Australians makes it the ideal destination for 13 days of top class swimming – all live and free.”

“Not only will sporting fans around the country have the opportunity to witness quality racing from our leading Australian Dolphins, there will also be stars of the future turning heads at the Australian Age Championships which will be exciting to watch on the Nine Network in the context of their commitment as the Olympic broadcaster through to Brisbane 2032.”

The largest annual event on the Swimming Australia calendar, the 2023 Australian Age Championships will see more than 2,600 aspiring Olympians and Paralympians from almost 400 different clubs across Australia contest over 200 separate events across nine days of competition, from April 7-15.

The Australian Championships will then see some of Australian swimming’s modern day greats like Emma McKeon, Kaylee McKeown, Mollie O’Callaghan, Rowan Crothers, Katja Dedekind and Lakeisha ‘Lucky’ Patterson all compete for the coveted title of Australian Champion from April 17-20.
