Club Development Grants

The intent of the Club Development Grants program is to provide financial assistance to clubs, which may not have sufficient financial resources, to implement strategies that develop and grow club membership and, masters specific, administrative and coaching skill levels which are not eligible for funding under any other MST program.

Development Policies

Developing our Coaches

Developing our Officials

As there are only a limited number of MST events conducted in Tasmania , a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) has been entered into with Swimming Tasmania (ST). The MOU provides for assessments to be undertaken at ST meets. Where such assessments are undertaken, the cost of obtaining a Working with Vulnerable People (children) Registration will be reimbursed by MST.
