Western Australia's Olympic hopefuls back to work

Many of Western Australia's elite athletes have now returned to training in preparation for next year's Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo.

Western Australia's best swimmers resumed training at HBF Stadium on 7 April thanks to the strong support of venue operator VenuesWest and the State Government.

The Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) is implementing a phased return to operations after being closed due to COVID-19 restrictions.

WAIS has received an exemption from the Closure and Restriction (Limit the Spread) Directions (No. 2) made under the Emergency Management Act 2005 (WA).
