New AIS learning modules unpack the science behind athlete development

The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) is helping athletes, coaches, parents and practitioners put sport science into practice with two new online learning resources focused on long-term athlete development.

Physiology Unpacked: What It Takes to Train, Recover and Compete in the High-Performance Pathway and Growth and Maturation in Youth Sport translate key sport science concepts into practical learning to help athletes, coaches, parents and practitioners involved in athlete development build skills and knowledge earlier in the performance pathway.

Vorgee is proud to announce that we are an official sponsor of the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s (NBCF) Swim for Breast Cancer!

This exciting partnership builds upon our almost 20-year commitment to supporting the NBCF through our iconic Swim in Pink range. Together with NBCF, our goal is to get as many swimmers in the water as possible, raising vital funds for research toward their vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

🏊‍♂️ What is Swim for Breast Cancer?
Throughout the month of November, we're challenging swimmers across Australia to swim 9km (or more!).

Why 9km? Every single kilometer represents one of the 9 Australians who lose their life to breast cancer each day.

By diving into the pool, ocean, or local lane, you’ll be directly supporting life-saving research funded by the NBCF.

💖 How to Get Involved:
Register: Sign up for the challenge today at NBCF Swim for Breast Cancer.

Log Your Laps: Challenge yourself to hit 9km across November.

Raise Funds: Share your journey and rally your friends, family, and community!

Grab your cap and goggles, pull on your pink kit, and let's make every stroke count!
