The next generation of Australian swimming talent is on display at the 2025 Australian Age and Multi Class Swimming Championships. The event is streaming live and free on 9Now from today, April 10.
Here’s the Lowdown: Held at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre until April 18, the championships feature around 2500 swimmers aged 12-18, including 50 international competitors. These athletes are potential contenders for the Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. One swimmer to watch is 17-year-old Josh Conias, who narrowly missed breaking Kyle Chalmers’ 16 years 50m freestyle record.
What This Means Now: Viewers can watch every heat and final session from the championships anytime and anywhere via the 9Now streaming platform. This accessibility allows swim fans to follow the progress of potential future Australian Dolphins.
The Bigger Picture: This competition is a key selection event for the 2025 World Junior Championships in Romania, adding extra significance for the young athletes. It also marks the start of Nine’s major swimming coverage for 2025, preceding the World Swimming Championship Trials in Adelaide this June.
