Merrylands will be represented by 12 swimmers at the Swimwest Short Course Qualifying Meet on 26th April 2026 at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre. The event is expected to attract broad participation from clubs across the region, creating a competitive and well‑attended meet early in the short course season.
