Swimming Australia will hold a vote on Oct. 20 on adopting a new constitution to give athletes and coaches a bigger voice after it was faced with the threat of expulsion from global body World Aquatics ahead of next year's Olympic Games in Paris.

"The changes will ensure the sport's administration and governance is of a world-class standard and will strengthen the voice of athletes and coaches," Gallen said.

World Aquatics said it had endorsed the new constitution after being consulted during the process of its development.
