High Performance Program

Old Cleveland Rd &, Tilley Rd, Chandler QLD 4155

Led by Head Coach Damien Jones, the Rackley Performance Program was established in 2024 through a partnership between Rackley Swim Team, Swimming Australia, and the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS). Based at the Swimming Australia Hub at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre (Chandler), the program was created to support Rackley’s ongoing commitment to helping athletes achieve their goals of representing Australia on the world stage.

This innovative high-performance program has already delivered world-class results, with Rackley athletes achieving success at both national and international levels.

Swimming Australia Performance Hubs play a critical role in the national High-Performance strategy and are built around five key priority areas: coaching and technical leadership, world-class athletes, daily performance and competition environments, world-leading performance support, and access to key facilities and technologies.
