Summary
The AIS swimming program aims to promote excellence in swimming and to foster individual and national pride.
In 1987, 24 men and 13 women were on scholarship and the team fulfilled these expectations by attaining 16 world ranked performances, 37 international gold medals and 17 national level records. This achievement was not only the result of the AIS program but the continued support and contribution summer coaches and administration from the swimming fraternity outside the Institute.
Bill Sweetenham was recognised with the 'Master Coach' award and the 1987 Australia Swim Coach of the year.
