VenuesWest has been actively involved in supporting high performance sports in Western Australia. As part of its ongoing High Performance Strategy, VenuesWest has expanded its portfolio of targeted sports to now include 18 high performance disciplines, with Artistic Swimming being the latest addition.
With this new status, Artistic Swimming will receive direct support from VenuesWest, including access to optimised facilities and subsidies for venue hire, primarily as HBF Stadium, which is the home of the Hancock Prospecting Artistic Swimming Australia Centre of Excellence with senior national athletes preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Artistic Swimming WA Chairperson Nikki Eidne said the organisation was thrilled to have the support of VenuesWest.
"It is with great honour and pride that we announce our acknowledgment by Venues West as a Targeted Sport. This recognition speaks volumes about the collective dedication and passion of our members,” Nikki said.
“Being identified as a Targeted Sport is a testament to the strides we've made and the impact we have had on the high-performance landscape. Our dedicated community, both at the State Level and within our clubs, has demonstrated unwavering commitment to elevating the standards for our athletes, coaches, and officials.
“Through tireless efforts, we have continuously strived to enhance opportunities and foster an environment conducive to high-performance outcomes. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and are committed to furthering the growth and success of artistic swimming in Western Australia.”
It has proudly hosted high performance Artistic Swimming events in the past, including the 2023 Hancock Prospecting Australian Artistic Swimming Championship, the 2016 Hancock Prospecting Synchronised Swimming National Championships and the 2015 Hancock Prospecting Commonwealth Festival of Synchronised Swimming.
In 2009, with the establishment of SynchroWA (now Artistic Swimming WA), artistic swimming underwent a revival in our State. Since this time there has been the establishment of five clubs and 10 training centres throughout WA.
The Stadium played a central role as SynchroWA held their first come and try day in May of 2009 where nine swimmers took part, including Deborah Tsai, who later represented Australia at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
The inclusion of Artistic Swimming in VenuesWest's targeted sports follows a thorough assessment process, as outlined in the VenuesWest High Performance Sport Strategy. The evaluation involves a combination of survey responses from the sporting community, data from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC), and other performance assessments.
