The 2011 New South Wales Swifts season saw New South Wales Swifts compete in the 2011 ANZ Championship. During the regular season, Swifts finished in third place. They qualified for the play offs but subsequently lost to Northern Mystics in the minor semi-final, finishing the season in 4th place. [1][2] After fifteen seasons as Sydney Swifts/New South Wales Swifts head coach, this was the last season Julie Fitzgerald served as head coach. She subsequently became an assistant coach with Australia and head netball coach of the Australian Institute of Sport. [3][4][5]

2011 roster

The 2011 Swifts roster saw the addition of Mo'onia Gerrard, the Australia international and former Sydney Swifts player, and Carla Dziwoki, a former Queensland Firebirds player. Dziwoki made her Swifts debut in the fourth quarter of the Round 1 match against Adelaide Thunderbirds, scoring 11 goals from 11 attempts. Two players also reached notable numbers of combined Commonwealth Bank Trophy/ANZ Championship appearances. Kimberlee Green celebrated her 100th game in Round 2 against Firebirds, while Gerrard celebrated her 150th game in Round 5 against Canterbury Tactix. [2][6][7]
