How good do these five look! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

A big congratulations to our KTSC swimmers James, Harry, Hannah, Luke, Seth and the wonderful Jaime (missing from the photo), who are heading to Melbourne in November for the Australian School Sport 12 Years & Under Swimming Championships! With an extra congratulations to James, who has been named one of the SA Team Captains! 👍🏼

The SA Team came together for a training and photo session on Saturday, pictured here proudly wearing their Team SA uniforms.

Six of our swimmers representing South Australia. We couldn’t be prouder of them! Go KTSC! ❤️💙

And that’s a wrap on Matt’s Last Lap.

Matt raced for the final time today at the 2026 Australian Short Course Championships, finishing a swimming career that included 5 National Age Championships and 1 Short Course Open Nationals.

That’s a lot of years of training, early mornings, kilometres in the pool, racing, travelling and being part of this crazy swimming world.

Today he pulled on his KTSC cap, stepped up behind the blocks and raced one last time.

From everyone at KTSC, thank you, Matt, for everything you have given to the club over the years; for the commitment, the memories, the example you have set and for being such an important part of our swimming family.

We’re proud to have had you represent KTSC, and we’ll miss seeing you around the pool but remember, once a KTSC swimmer, always a KTSC Swimmer.

Now the goggles can be officially hung up! ❤️💙

The social media chick is definitely struggling to keep up with all the KTSC activity this week! 🤦🏻‍♀️

We’ve had swimmers racing in Sydney, a crew over in New Zealand… and she’s just found out Noah has been representing KTSC in Darwin at the 2026 NT Country Swimming Championships! 🤣

And he’s had a cracking meet. 👏🏼

✨ Lots of PBs;
✨ A few oh-so-close 4th places; and
🥉 BRONZE in the Boys 11–12 200m IM! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Plenty of great racing, new experiences and one pretty happy swimmer. 👍🏼

Congratulations Noah! ❤️💙

While we’ve had three swimmers in Sydney flying the KTSC flag, Jasper and Phoenix have taken the Red & Blue across the ditch to Christchurch. 🇳🇿

They’ve now wrapped up their racing at the 2026 New Zealand Short Course Championships, with some great PBs, plenty of fast swimming and a pretty big learning curve competing on an international stage. 👍🏼

Jasper had 7 races, coming away with 3 PBs and 5 Age Timed Finals, while Phoenix hit the water for 5 races and picked up 2 good PBs of his own. 💪🏼

Well done Jasper and Phoenix. Some great racing, faster times and plenty of experience to bring home with you.👏🏻

It seems one country just wasn’t enough for KTSC this week! ❤️💙

One last Short Course States Shoutout! ❤️💙

A huge congratulations to Natasha, who was awarded the Peter Bowen Pain Development Trophy for Female Age Swimmer of the Meet (Points Gained).

Natasha had a massive three days, competing in 12 events across the meet. An incredible effort and an award very well deserved. We’re so proud of you, Natasha, and we think you’ve definitely earned that week off!

And one final result worth celebrating…

KTSC finished 4th overall, just 135.5 points behind Norwood in 3rd. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Not that we’re competitive or anything… but we’ve got you in our sights now, . 👀🤣
