Andrew Baildon

A renowned Olympian, multi-medal winning Commonwealth Games Champion and Australian Swimming Ambassador, Andrew’s swimming journey started young.

After being rescued from the bottom of his family backyard pool by his sister Kate, Andrew’s parents ensured that he went to swimming lessons every single day until he could swim – and Andrew just never stopped swimming and went on to enjoy a long and illustrious career in the sport he grew to love.

After his near-drowning experience and having retired from competitive swimming, he was determined to contribute to the saving of children’s lives through the development and teaching of Drowning Prevention and Learn to Swim programs.

His passion for swimming and a healthy lifestyle led Andrew to develop leisure centres incorporating Jetts Fitness.
