The pathway of a champion

The South West Academy of Sport gives aspiring champions a chance to develop their skills without the burden of traveling excessive distances to Perth to get specialised training.

It is a ‘stepping stone’ for young athletes (from 12 to 18 years) toward State and National elite development programs.

SWAS training programs are based on the same model as the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS). It provides a level of training and support greater than what is available at a local club level.

It bridges the gap between club level and WAIS and beyond.
