Quality squad coaching from novice through to senior elite — led by three-time Olympic coach Jim Fowlie.
The Academy
CISAC Swim Academy runs nine squads — from Junior Development through to our elite Gold squad, plus dedicated Adult and University programs. Swimmers train on a schedule that matches their stage, in Canberra's only 50 m Olympic pool.
Beyond the physical program, the Academy is designed to build the life skills that matter around the water — time management, self-image, commitment, teamwork, and an understanding of fitness and nutrition.
Join the Academy
Every prospective swimmer is assessed before placement. Drop in to CISAC at 3:45 pm any weekday, or call ahead to book a time.
Squads
Swimmers move up when they're ready — not when the calendar says so. Each squad builds on the last, with clear targets for technique, endurance and race-pace work.
