2024 Masters Swimming Australia National Championships

Parap Pool will soon host the 2024 Masters Swimming Australia National Championships.

The Championships, last held in Darwin in 2007, are the equivalent of the Swimming Australia National Championships, and are therefore the prestige event of the Australian Masters Swimming organisation. Over 500 competitors are registered to participate in the event, the majority from interstate and overseas, with many spectators also expected to attend.

Competition will be held on:
Friday 3 May to Monday 6 May 2024

During this time, Parap Pool will be closed to public swimming; however, entry is free of charge for spectators, so please come along and witness Australia’s top senior swimmers in action. 

Masters Swimming NT and City of Darwin thank you in advance for your support to hold this important competition.

Nightcliff Pool will operate as per its normal opening hours throughout. City of Darwin apologises for any inconvenience caused.
