Hawk-Eye takes flight at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre

A large indoor swimming pool facility with tiered seating in multiple colours and a mobile boom lift positioned beside the pool.

A new chapter in aquatic sport has begun at Sydney Olympic Park, with the installation of Hawk-Eye technology at the iconic Aquatic Centre, host to the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and now the first aquatic venue in New South Wales to implement this globally recognised innovation.

Already proven in elite sports like tennis and football, and featured at Paris 2024, Hawk-Eye brings reliable tracking and analysis tools to support swimmers, coaches, and officials in both training and competition. It’s a powerful step forward in unlocking athlete potential, enhancing fairness, and elevating the standard of performance.

“NSW has the highest swimming participation in the country, and we’re proud to support innovation that strengthens our sporting legacy. Hawk-Eye will enhance fairness, accuracy, and athlete development, while easing the burden on our incredible volunteers. This is a win for grassroots and elite sport alike,” says Josie Casal, Centre Manager Aquatic at Sydney Olympic Park Authority.

Used globally in elite sport, Hawk-Eye’s advanced tracking system will now support swimming performance, officiating accuracy, and athlete development right here in Sydney Olympic Park, Australia’s home of high-performance sport and a key preparation hub for Brisbane 2032.

This cutting-edge technology will:

Provide real-time data and video analysis for coaches and athletes
Elevate officiating accuracy, reducing the burden on volunteers
Enhance fairness and accuracy in competition
Support talent pathways and training programs.

“Sydney Olympic Park has always been a home of innovation. As the first aquatic venue in New South Wales to install Hawk-Eye technology, we’re proud to lead the way in enhancing performance, precision, and coaching capability. This upgrade keeps the Park at the forefront of global sport, for elite athletes and the wider community alike,” says Neisha D’Souza, CEO, Sydney Olympic Park Authority.

The installation is a collaborative initiative between Sydney Olympic Park Authority and Swimming NSW, ensuring the benefits of Hawk-Eye reach athletes, coaches, and officials across all levels of the sport. It reflects the Authority’s ongoing commitment to innovation, excellence, and community legacy.
