A massive congratulations to Cal and Chris for being named Paralympic Swimmer of the Year and Coach of the Year at the Swimming Australia Awards last night.
What an incredible season — Cal brought home three golds, a silver, and a bronze at the World Championships and set a new world record.
An extraordinary athlete, an exceptional coach, and an unbeatable team.

We’re up in Cairns this week with the Australian Swimming team, as Phoenix swimmer and Paralympic gold medallist Callum Simpson, gets in a good block of training in the warm weather. This week he’s joined by our very own Coach Chris and Team Doctor Mel.

Callum’s journey is a wonderful reminder that every swimmer — no matter how elite — starts the same way: learning to float, kick, and respect the water.

It’s also been a while since Chris and Mel put on their Australian team uniform together…and it’s always special to be part of that full-circle moment.

We’re Finalists!

We are beyond proud to share that Flinders’ Phoenix Swim Team, Paralympic Gold Medalist Callum Simpson, and our incredible Head Coach Chris have all been nominated for the Sunshine Coast Sport Awards!

This recognition is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion that make our Flinders Aquatic family so special. The Phoenix team nomination is particularly meaningful because it acknowledges not just individual achievements, but the strength of our entire squad—the swimmers, coaches, families, and supporters who create such an inspiring and supportive community.

A huge congratulations to Callum and Chris for their well-deserved nominations—your leadership, perseverance, and excellence continue to inspire us all!

No matter the outcome, we are so proud of what we’ve built together. Thank you to everyone who makes this team what it is!

☀️ What a fantastic morning at our Starts & Turns Clinic! ☀️

We had an impressive turnout of 80 swimmers across the three sessions, with the kids bringing fantastic energy and positivity! With the sun shining down, they were focused and eager to learn, taking in valuable tips and personalised feedback from coaches Mel, Elisha, Viki, and Chris.

One of the highlights was the opportunity to see their techniques on the 4K underwater cameras 🎥 —an incredible tool for fine-tuning their skills!

Thanks to everyone who attended, it’s great to see the enthusiasm and dedication from our swimmers. Can’t wait to see these skills in action at their next competition! 🏊‍♂️💦
