Our 2026 Australian Swimming Trials campaign continues with Rob swimming the 50m Breaststroke tomorrow! 🙌

At 41 years old, Rob has proven that age is absolutely no barrier to competing at the highest level of Australian swimming and he will take the blocks amongst the country’s best as they seek selection for the Commonwealth Games and Pan Pacific Games. As one of our masters swimmers, qualifying for the Trials is an extraordinary achievement.

Rob races in Heat 12, Lane 7 at approximately 12:50pm. Tune in live on 9Now and get behind him!

Go get it, Rob. The whole IGSC family is cheering you on! 💪

Last weekend our Masters had a great day of racing in Toowoomba at the Short Course Masters meet!

A special welcome to Liam, who stepped out from behind the coaching stopwatch to race and took out Age Champion 25-29 in his return. He was joined by Ahmed, who made his Masters swimming debut after recently joining our training squad. What a way to start!

Age Champions on the day:
🥇 Liam — 25-29
🥇 Erin — 45-49
🥇 Steve — 45-49
🥇 Michael — 40-44
🥇 Hayden — 18-25

Runners-up:
🥈 Ahmed — 30-34
🥈 Gaylene — 40-44
🥈 John — 45-49

Congratulations to Steve, who broke the QLD Short Course Record in the 200m Backstroke (45-49). Outstanding swim! 🏆

Relays, laughs, team spirit and apparently a very well-executed Pizza Hut buffet to finish the day. All part of the experience. 🍕

A huge thank you to Toowoomba Tadpoles - QTW for another great meet, we look forward to heading up the range again next year.

Thinking about getting back in the water? Our Masters Squad welcomes all ages and abilities. Reach out for more info on training times and how to get involved.

🔴⚪🔴 2026 Masters Swimming Australia National Championships — Chandler
Last week, 10 QIG Masters swimmers took on 98 events (yes 98!!!) at the Masters Swimming Australia National Short Course Championships and what a week it was. Racing alongside some of the world’s fastest swimmers, including Australian Dolphins and Cam McEvoy, the world’s fastest ever freestyler, meant the competition was fierce and the times were fast. When you’re chasing athletes of that calibre, it lifts everyone and our crew rose to the occasion in a big way.

The result? 10 records broken, 6 Australian and 4 Queensland, and 55 medals including 31 gold.

Every single one of you should be incredibly proud. 🌟

Records Broken:
🏆 Stephen Berting (45-49) — 4 Australian Records (50 Free 23.67, 100 Free 52.46, 25 Back 13.43, 50 Back 27.87) & 2 QLD Records (100 Back 1:03.26, 100 IM 1:01.47)
🏆 Brett Woods (60-64) — 2 Australian Records (100 Free 58.02, breaking his own!) & 1 QLD Record (100 Fly 1:08.18)
🏆 Rob Chrzescijanski (40-44) — 1 Australian Record (25 Breast 13.57, breaking his own!) — a lifetime PB finishing 2nd behind Australian Dolphin Grayson Bell
🏆 Men’s 4×25 Free Relay (120+) — New QLD Record 44.57 (Hayden, Brett, Steve, Hermes) — sorry not sorry Jayden and Riley! 😄
🏆 Men’s 4×50 Medley Relay (120+) — New QLD Record 1:52.35, breaking the Barbarians’ previous record of 1:54.02

28/04/2026

2026 MSA Nationals kicked off today and our IGS Masters men found themselves in the lane next to history, racing alongside the Barbarians Masters team, anchored by the world’s fastest 50m freestyle swimmer Cameron McEvoy, as they shattered the Masters World Record in the Men’s 200m SC Freestyle Relay.

And while the world was watching the lane next door, our very own Steve quietly went and broke the Australian 50m Freestyle record for his age group on the leadoff leg with a 23.67 (previous record 23.85), followed by Rob, Hayden and Hermes all bettering their seed time to finish second in 1:36.72. 👏

Good luck to all our Masters swimmers for the rest of the week at MSA Nationals. With three records already set by our team on day one can’t wait to share the full results when it’s all wrapped up. 👀

Stay tuned!

The last day of racing and our swimmers finished the way they started — giving everything. 🔴⚪

Boston | 50 Freestyle | Place 12
Boston swam a PB in his heat to qualify for the B final where he bettered his time again and clocked the eighth fastest time of the entire meet, breaking the 25 second barrier for the first time. At 14 years and a few months old and bottom age for the age group. Let that sink in. 🙌

Ollie | 200 Butterfly | Place 10
Event six of six. A PB to finish his nationals program. Tenth in the country in the 200 fly. Ollie has been extraordinary all week, with the biggest program of the team, and today was the perfect way to close it out. 💪

Lachlan C | 100 Breaststroke | Place 10
A PB in the heats to make the A final, then tenth in the country to finish his week. As a bottom age swimmer having only aged up in the last couple of months, that is a result that speaks for itself. We are so proud of you Lachie. 🔴⚪

And the relays to close out the week. 🙌

Boys 13-14 Medley Relay | Place 24
Liam, Rudi, Ollie and Boston. Close to PB or better. Every single one of them. 🔴⚪

Boys 15-16 Medley Relay | Place 18
Lachlan S, Lachlan C, Dominic and William. Right on PB or better. What a way to finish the week. 🙌

That is a wrap on racing but we are not done yet. Stay tuned for a full wrap up of an extraordinary week for IGSC. 👀🔴⚪

The last morning of heats. Let’s go swimmers! 🔴⚪

~9:30am — 50 Freestyle
Boston closes out his individual program in the sprint event. What a week he has had and now one last chance to go fast. 🙌

~11:22am — 200 Butterfly
Ollie steps up for his final event. And it’s a big one! 200m butterfly. You’ve got this Ollie. 💪

~12:02pm — 100 Breaststroke
Lachlan C and Will share the same event to close out their individual programs. What a way to finish the week together. 🔴⚪

Go IGSC! Cheer them on from home — watch live on 9Now. 🙌

Day seven done. Three swimmers who gave everything on the national stage. 🔴⚪

Olivia | 200 Breaststroke | Place 45
To race a 200 breaststroke at nationals at 13 years old takes something special. Olivia has raced three breaststroke events across this week and today she saved her biggest for last. So proud of this young woman. 🌊

Bronte | 50 Freestyle | Place 27
Twenty-seventh in the country in a field of 76 of Australia’s best sprinters. Bronte earned her way back to nationals and today she delivered. 🙌

Lachlan C | 200 IM | Place 17
Seventeenth in the country in a field of 45 swimmers. All four strokes, 200 metres and Lachlan delivered a top 20 performance. 💪

And between the racing? This team has been making the most of every moment together. The bonds built outside the pool are just as important as what happens in it and this group has shown us exactly what that looks like all week. 🙌🔴⚪

Seven days down. One more to go. Watch this space as we cheer on the red and white to the finish. 👀🔴⚪
