Aquatics at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games

Aquatics at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games made its eighth appearance at the Commonwealth Games, with both Swimming at the Commonwealth Games and Diving at the Commonwealth Games being included again.

There were 24 swimming events and 4 diving events. The National Aquatic Centre in Independence Park, built in 1962, was modified for the Games.

Australia topped the medal table with 11 gold medals.

In the diving events, Australia missed out on a clean sweep of silver medals when Beverly Boys of Canada beat Australia's Susan Knight in the women's 3 metre springboard by a score of just 0.02. Australia also missed out on a gold medal by the same score of just 0.2 in the women's 10 metre platform, with England's Joy Newman finishing just ahead of Australia's Robyn Bradshaw.
