West Australian swimmers, swimmer’s family members, volunteers, coaches, and the wider WA swimming family came together at the Ritz Carlton for their annual awards to celebrate Swimming WA and our states’ dedicated swimmers.
As each year, it is a night for swimmers, their families, coaches and friends of swimmers to get together and celebrate the successes of our swimmers from the past year.
The Swimming WA Patron’s Trophy is awarded to an outstanding West Australian pool or open water swimmer for their performance both in and out of competition, at the benchmark international competitions, the Olympics, World Championships , commonwealth games, or Pan Pacific Swimming Championships.
To be eligible for consideration for this Award, swimmers must have won a medal at one of these events.
This year, the award was given to Alex Saffy for his Bronze at the S10 100M Butterfly at the World Para Championships and Silver at the Commonwealth Games.
As a dedicated sponsor of swimming in West Australia for over thirty years, Hancock Prospecting and Patron Mrs Gina Rinehart wish all involved with our state’s outstanding swimmers well, and huge thanks to the many parents, family members and volunteers who contribute to West Australian Swimming.
