Hervey Bay Swimming Club

A huge congratulations to Mick on being named Development Coach of the Year for the 2025/26 season by the Darling Downs Regional Swimming Association.

This is actually the second consecutive year Mick has received this award. An incredible achievement and recognition of the impact he continues to have on young swimmers.

We recognise this comes during a period of transition but wanted to celebrate the significant contribution Mick made to his former club and community. To that end we’re incredibly excited for the next chapter of his coaching journey with us here in Hervey Bay. Congratulations Mick!

Entries are open via SwimCentral for St Andrew’s meet. This is a target meet on our calendar and Coach Mick will be on deck to support swimmers during both Saturday sessions. Any questions please sing out!

Huge congratulations to Dyshart Morgan on his performance at the 2026 Australian Age Multiclass Nationals, held from 4–6 April.

Dyshart qualified in four events: 100m breaststroke, 100m freestyle, 50m breaststroke and 50m freestyle. He also qualified for A Finals in both 50m events, choosing to focus on his main event, the 50m freestyle, where he was the fastest swimmer overall in both the heats and final.

This result adds to what has already been an outstanding season in the pool. Earlier this season, Dyshart broke multiple Queensland records at the 2025 Queensland Championships, as well as Australian Long Course records in the 17 Years S19 50m Freestyle.
