Tuggeranong Masters delivered an exceptional performance at the 2026 MSA National Masters Swimming Championships in Brisbane from 28 April to 3 May 2026 , capping off a week of intense competition with standout results across the board.

More than 800 swimmers from around Australia took part in the championships, ranging from former national representatives to firsttime competitors and inspiring athletes in their 80s and 90s. The atmosphere throughout the week was a celebration of both high performance racing and the inclusive spirit of Masters swimming.

Tuggeranong Masters were crowned Division 2 champions after a strong performance at the MSNSW State Long Course Championships held at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre on 11/12 April 2026.

To commemorate MSA 50th anniversary, the 50x50x50 challenge was run in 2025. This involved swimming a 50×50m lap (2500m) session for 50 weeks in the year.

We gathered after training for our Sunday Night Drinks on 15 February 2026 to celebrate achievements and say farewell to a long-standing club member.

On Sunday, 7 December 2025, many members came together to celebrate the club’s successful year at the Vikings Club, Erindale. The club recognised the achievements of members in the annual presentation awards and celebrated the night in festive attire, with a Kris Kringle gift being an enjoyable highlight. Thanks to Maria for organising the event – a great finish to the swimming year.

The Australian Masters Games are held every two years, and this edition saw swimmers from around the country heading to Canberra for two days of competition at the Australian Insitute of Sport (AIS) pool. The event was held in short course format on 24-25 October 2025. Tuggeranong Masters fielded a large team of 36 swimmers over the two days at the AIS. From first-time racers to seasoned competitors our swimmers took advantage of being able to race in our home city.

A team of 13 Viking swimmers travelled to Woy Woy on the Central Coast of NSW to participate in the 2025 MSNSW State Short Course Championships on 11-12 October. The Vikings had an enjoyable swim meet, and even though our team was small compared to many of the Sydney clubs, we did our club proud with some top-notch results and shiny medals with ribbons to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Masters Swimming Australia.

This year, the MSNSW Long Distance Championships were held in short course (25m) format at Knox Grammar Aquatic Centre on Sunday, 31 August 2025.
