42 sponsorship regan harrison 2001 Male Breaststroke Swimmer of the Year the gold medal count for the first time at a FINA World Championship. Nine also broadcast a daily highlights package from Moscow of the FINA World Short Course Championships in April, 2002. Those swim fans who watch Nine will have noticed also a greater presence of swimmers in a whole range of di≈erent programs, including The Footy Show, The Today Show and A Current A≈air—which shows Nine’s willingness to promote swimming to wider audiences. ASI is most grateful to Nine’s Head of Sport, Gary Burns, for his faith and promotion of our product. Thank you also to Gary’s sta≈ for their tireless e≈orts during ASI events. Fox Sports Fox Sports continues to lead the way in Pay TV programming of swimming with excellent live coverage of the Qantas Skins and the Telstra FINA World Cup. In addition, Fox Sports Central has provided great coverage of swimming through a large number of individual interviews with members of the Team. Those with a keen eye will have noticed Fox Sports are also very active in broadcasting o≈shore swim events including other rounds of the FINA World Cup Series and the FINA World Short Course Swimming Championships from Moscow. Thank you to Soames Tre≈ry and Duncan Armstrong for their support. Fisher & Paykel Fisher & Paykel has been secured as a significant sponsor for ASI through the National Youth Program. The National Youth Squad is now named the Fisher & Paykel Flippers. The company’s support will be vital in preparing a new generation of national squad members. ASI has hosted a newly developed Trans Tasman Series with Fisher & Paykel securing naming rights sponsor to the event. Fisher & Paykel will be sponsoring the Australian Age Championships each year. The sponsorship will also provide a range of Fisher & Paykel products, which will be used as prizes to the swimmers for their performances
at Fisher & Paykel events. A media launch was held at Lane Cove Aquatic Centre in Sydney to announce the sponsorship. The launch was well attended by Fisher & Paykel personnel, members of the Squad, the media and ASI executives. The inaugural Fisher & Paykel Trans Tasman Series was also a resounding success with National Youth Coach Leigh Nugent determined to see the series continue. Fisher & Paykel representatives attended the last round of the series in Canberra and were very pleased to see the swimmers kitted up and performing well. Australian Swimming is pleased to welcome Marketing Manager, Mike Churches and his Sponsorship Manager, Tony Sweeney to the swimming family. Clipsal Vision Australian Swimming now has in place a supply arrangement with Clipsal Vision. This will provide ASI with significant savings over the next three years in the fees it pays for video wall hire. The use of video walls provides spectators with all the action in the pool, instant replays, poolside interviews and results and times. Braun Braun razors were brought on board as a sponsor of the Telstra FINA World Cup and have shown interest renewal for the 2002 event in Melbourne. The sponsorship showcases Michael Klim and some other swimmers and creates an obvious link from Braun razors to the ‘pre-race shave-down’. Braun provides excellent sponsor support and creates extra public interest in the event through their launch and product displays. Development—Grassroots Sponsor Programs Sports Marketing and Management (SMAM) has spent considerable time throughout the year with ASI in assisting with the preparation of a successful submission to the Australian Sports Commission for support of ASI’s Targeted Participation Growth program (TPGP). Development at the grassroots end of the sport is fast growing and an excellent opportunity for the sport to attract increased membership to the Clubs and for new sponsors to associate with the sport and interact with their customers. The participants in the Learn to Swim Graduates Program are the future lifeblood for our Teams and critical to the financial health of ASI’s growth. The next financial year will see a large focus on attracting commercial partners, both through existing sponsors and new supporters of the sport. 2005 FINA World Championship Bid 43 Australian Swimming presented a bid for the right to host the 2005 FINA World Swimming Championships in Melbourne with the support of the Victoria Major Events Corporation (VMEC) and each a÷liated association in Diving, Synchronized Swimming and Water Polo in Australia. At the invitation of ASI and VMEC, SMAM played a role in assisting with the presentation of the sponsorship and commercialisation elements of the bid. Australia’s bid was unsuccessful and Montreal, Canada secured host rights for 2005. This was largely expected due to the fact Australia has played host to the FINA World Swimming Championships in 1991 and 1998 in Perth, the 1999 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Sydney and the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. However, the bid was very well received by FINA and will encourage Melbourne toward a successful bid at next year’s World Swimming Championships in Barcelona to win the rights for 2007 World Swimming Championships.
