What is Swim Central?

Swim Central is an online platform used by Swimming Australia to manage everything related to swimming participation in Australia. Swim Central was launched in 2020 as a new national system to replace older state-based registration and results platforms, bringing everything into one unified system across Australia.

It’s essentially a one-stop system for swimmers, parents, and clubs to handle:

• Membership registrations and renewals
• Entering swim meets and competitions
• Tracking results, times, and rankings
• Managing club information and swimmer profiles

For families, it’s the main place where you sign your swimmer up with a club and nominate them for races. For clubs and officials, it helps organise meets and keep records accurate and up to date.

In short, if you’re involved in club swimming in Australia, Swim Central is the hub where everything is managed.

What is Results Central?

RESULTS CENTRAL is the official online results platform used by Swimming Australia to publish and store swimming competition results across Australia.

It’s where swimmers, parents, and coaches can:

• View race results and times from meets
• Check rankings and performance history
• Track progress over time
• Search for swimmers or specific events

Think of it as the results companion to Swim Central. While Swim Central is used for registrations and entries, Results Central is where all the official race outcomes and performance data are displayed after competitions. Note, if families have ticked “hide results in public portal” in Swim Central, those swimmer’s results will not be visible.
