There are a number of aquatic competitions - catering for all ability levels from novice through to elite - across the region throughout the year. They provide a competitive outlet for Swim Wales members, helping swimmers to understand competition structures and processes and giving them opportunities to showcase their skills.

The region's competitive success has been boosted by four Performance Clubs - Cardiff, Newport, Bridgend and Torfaen - supported by a strong network of Swimming Clubs. Many Welsh and GB Internationals either currently live, or have their home base, within the region, including Olympian and Paralympians David Davies, Ieuan Lloyd, Tom Haffield, David Roberts, Morgyn Peters, Nyree Kindred, Rhiannon Henry and Liz Johnson.

Aquatics have a strong history in the region and there are some exciting times to come with the building of new facilities, partnerships being formed and a united focus on the Aquatic Pathway targets.
