Close to 1200 swimmers from 49 metro clubs took to the pool at MSAC for the 2024 Victorian Metropolitan Championships from 9-11 March, in some hot Melbourne conditions.
The Championships saw some changes this year, the most significant being the introduction of heats and finals to provide ideal preparation in the lead up to Nationals. It was also the first time the Championships has been held in March since covid, the long weekend providing the perfect opportunity for a big 3 days of racing.
In another first, we were thrilled to extend our partnership with Kayo Freebies to stream the Championships, making it more accessible than ever. Our commentary team was once again in fine form, with a new face joining some regulars on the mic to keep us informed and bringing viewers even closer to the action.
