Welcome Function

Welcome to the 50th Anniversary MSA National Championships! Join us for an spectacular opening celebration at one of Brisbane's most iconic and beloved landmarks - the historic Brisbane City Hall.

This prestigious Welcome Function marks the official opening of our milestone championship, bringing together Masters swimmers from across Australia and around the world in the grandeur of City Hall's magnificent spaces. Built in the 1920s, this heritage-listed building showcases stunning Italian Renaissance architecture and provides the perfect setting to launch our championship week.

The evening begins with a champagne reception in the Grand Hall, where you'll be surrounded by intricate marble staircases, ornate ceilings, and the building's famous pipe organ. Mingle with fellow competitors, reconnect with old friends, and meet swimmers from other clubs and countries in an atmosphere of elegance and celebration.

We will gather for welcome addresses from championship organisers, special guests, and dignitaries. **MSA Annual Awards will be presented.**

This is your opportunity to feel the excitement building for the week ahead, learn about the event schedule, and be part of the opening ceremony for this historic 50th anniversary championship.

Light refreshments and beverages will be served throughout the evening as you explore this architectural masterpiece and immerse yourself in the camaraderie that makes Masters Swimming so special.
