Congratulations to Eli Kerr and Sophie Ryan, SWAS - APEX athletes who competed at the 2026 Australian Swimming Trials in Sydney.

Sophie delivered a strong performance in the 50 metre backstroke, setting a personal best! She loved being around Olympic swimmers and soaking up the atmosphere of a national meet, gaining motivation for the future.

Eli delivered a series of strong performances across multiple events, consistently showing great results. His swims reflected the hard work and dedication he has been putting into training!

SWAS is incredibly proud of our APEX athletes Eli and Sophie. We cannot wait to watch Eli and Sophie excel within the APEX program, and we look forward to seeing what they will achieve next!
