The SPW final showdown
Get up close with Dean Boxall and his world beating high performance squad for their final training session before they head off for the 2024 Paris Olympics swimming trials.
This is a rare opportunity to come into the SPW aquatic centre - normally closed off to the public - and watch Dean and his squad lay down the final training block in their preparations for the 2024 Olympic trials. Sitting close to the action, you will see all of SPW's Olympic and World Champions together, suited up, and in full race simulation mode.
You will feel the heat, hear the breathing, absorb the energy, and be part of the Olympic pool action as Dean re-creates the Paris atmosphere right here in Brisbane.
The full squad will be there - Kai Taylor, Ariarne Titmus, Mollie O'Callaghan, Elijah Winnington, Shayna Jack, Brianna Throssell, Jack Cartwright, Kiah Melverton, Abbey Harkin, Jenna Forrester and more. Because all swimmers will be deep in training and race mode, there will not be an opportunity to meet the swimmers or take individual photos or get autographs. But you will be up close with them and witness these athletes in their home environment behind the curtain where the magic happens.
Spectator seating is close to the pool and the starting blocks, and so gates will open at 6am sharp with spectators required to take their seats no later than 6.25am. Dean will start his simulated Paris racing at 6.30am with the session going for approximately 2 hours.
Tickets are limited.
