Swimming NSW's volunteer-run committees assist the Board in implementing the organisation's strategic plan across a variety of areas integral to the success of our sport.
It is with our members in mind that these committees work closely with the Board to review the current landscape, advise of appropriate changes and implement new strategies for growth and retainment of members; ensuring longevity for the organisation and its associations.
We are now accepting nominations for our 2020 Management Committees. For more information and to apply, download the application form found on our Resources page.
