Swimming Northern Territory is proud to announce Andrew Materazzo, from the Casuarina Swimming Club is our Meet Ambassador for the 2023 City of Darwin NT Open & Age Championships.

We asked Andrew if he would be happy to share a little bit about himself and here it is. 

• What are your favourite hobbies?

Swimming is one of my favorite hobbies and something I can’t live without. Not just pool swimming though, I really enjoy adventuring and swimming at the beach and inland water features - like the waterfalls at Litchfield.

• When did you first start swimming?

I have been competitively swimming since 2012. Prior to that I was doing learn to swim and the thought of racing terrified me. Now, over 10 years later, I still do get scared, but I’ve realized that racing is one of the most exciting parts of swimming, so I’ll keep racing for as long as I can.

• What is your favourite swimming memory?

I was selected as part of the NT team that went to Sydney for the Virtual Australian SC Champs. It was such an amazing experience competing there and I swum the best races of my career at that competition. Our team was small with only 7 people, but we had the best time together.

• What is your favourite stroke and distance?

My favourite race is the 50m freestyle. It might seem easy but it’s a quick race and the precision required leaves you with no margin for error.

• What is it like swimming with the Casuarina Swim Team?

I’ve been with Casuarina my whole life and our team has always been as close as family – from the swimmers to even the parents and volunteers.

• What are your future goals?

My goal in swimming is to always be around and to be a part of the swimming community in Darwin. But no matter where I find myself in life, I’d love competing anywhere and meeting swimmers from all around Australia, and the world (Hopefully on an Australian team…).

We wish Andrew all the best at the upcoming City of Darwin NT Open and Age Championships and in his future swimming and endeavours.
