Swimming South Africa and Bombela Concession Company Unveil High-Performance Roadmap to Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032
As South Africa’s leading podium-performing federation, Swimming South Africa continues to build on its legacy of excellence. While the nation is rich with athletic talent and proven ability on the regional, continental, and global stage, the federation recognises that sustainable success depends on strengthened resources and infrastructure.
“The challenge we face is not a lack of talent-our athletes have repeatedly demonstrated their ability to shine. What we require are the resources and facilities to sustain and elevate that excellence,” said Alan A. Fritz, President of Swimming South Africa.
The partnership with Bombela Concession Company represents a vital step in this journey. With its expertise in high-performance mobility and shared values of excellence, Bombela Concession Company provides strategic support to strengthen Swimming South Africa’s mission.
Looking ahead, Swimming South Africa’s High-Performance strategy is centred on:
- Increasing the number of athletes qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Games and beyond.
- Building a national team ecosystem that empowers athletes, coaches, and management to excel.
- Improving performance times and expanding the qualifying pool of athletes.
- Securing the financial and infrastructural support necessary to sustain success.
The federation has also committed to engaging municipalities, the military, the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, the National Lotteries Commission, and private partners to establish world-class facilities that can anchor a sustainable High-Performance ecosystem.
“We remain fully committed to ensuring every stakeholder derives value from their support of our federation. Together, we will position South African swimming as a global force on the world stage,” Fritz concluded.
