The State Government has secured two national swimming championship events for Perth in 2020, which are expected to attract more than 6,000 visitors and contribute about $7 million to the Western Australian economy.
The Georgina Hope Foundation Australian Age Swimming Championships and a new event, the Hancock Prospecting Australian Swimming Championships will both be held at HBF Stadium in April 2020, attracting some of the best young swimmers from around the country.
The Australian Age Swimming Championships is the national event for Australians aged between 13 and 18, and the Australian Swimming Championships is for swimmers aged between 17 and 21.
The events are supported by Tourism Western Australia and VenuesWest.
