Rocky City Swimming Club and Club Aquatic
We are a MILO Swim Australia accredited program. Membership fees include CQSA and QSA capitation and insurance. Rocky City Amateur Swimming Club Inc was formed in 1996 under the name of Rockhampton City Amateur Swim Club Inc to provide a group of swimmers with an umbrella under which to train and compete whilst developing the technical skills of the sport of swimming. Our club has grown from a small group to a larger more competitive Club with approximately 120 active members. These members vary in age from 3 up to 60 and represent a wide cross section of the community which include indigenous swimmers and those with a disability. In 2003 the club moved to the Glenmore State High School. Here our members have the benefit of our club controlling the heating of the pool to a consistent 29 degrees for the winter months and the use of the Glenmore School gymnasium. The club is affiliated with Central Queensland Swimming and Queensland Swimming and membership numbers vary from year to year. The club provides financial support in the form of subsidies for those swimmers competing in State and National Titles. Learn to swim and competition have been the main focus of the club with swimmers competing in local Central Queensland A grade and B grade carnivals, as well as State and National Age Titles.    
Our members train
under Program Director Shane Kingston at various times from Monday
through to Saturday, both morning and afternoon at the Glenmore State
High School pool. The swimmers are grouped into various levels to
train – these include learn to swim, stroke development and squad
training. Training is offered 5 days per week commencing at
3.30pm and caters for Learn to Swim; Surf; Squads; Tri Athletes and
Adult Classes. Shane’s program has been identified by the Queensland Academy of Sport and is currently being overseen by Michael Piper. Shane also conducts coaching classes with Glenmore High School Squad, Frenchville Tri-athletes and adult fitness classes.   Shane is qualified with a Silver Coaching License and is assisted by Cassie Day who holds a Bronze Coaching Licence and AustSwim Licence. CLUB AQUATIC SWIM PROGRAM
Working with the community and schools to make children safer in the water and more involved in sport. WHAT IS CLUB AQUATIC At Club Aquatic Swim Program, a MILO Swim Australia Accredited program, our goal is clear - We aim to make this school swim centre a focal point for health and water recreation in Rockhampton. We have drawn on national campaigns such as Swim Australia, Active Australia and Kids ALIVE to design a program that is suitable for anyone from 2-102. AS A MILO SWIM AUSTRALIA SCHOOL We aim to:- * Make all Australians aware of the many valuable benefits of swimming * Get all Australians to learn to swim in a safe, skilled and enjoyable way. * Maintain Australian swimming for life. We meet the following criteria:- * Consent by government authority to operate * Programme is supervised by accredited teachers * Agrees to abide by national guidelines WHAT WE DO... Our Learn to Swim Program for the children, is designed to link their natural enjoyment of the water with a program that enables the child to learn at their own pace, which is enhanced by small class numbers. Our facility allows us to practice a specialized deep water aspect in the lessons. This emphasis on deep water ability aims to reduce swimming fatalities, which are still one of the most likely causes for death in children under 5. Learn to swim classes are conducted 6 days per week at the Splash-A-Bout facility located underneath Stockland Rockhampton in a heated environment of 32 degrees. The pool is 6m x 18m with depth ranging from 1m to 1.3m. For babies the mushroom pool is 2.5m x 4m with a 30cm shelf and a depth of 1.2m providing a small yet safe environment to fast track the fundamentals of our swimming program. It is recommended babies start lessons from 6mths of age. Classes are conducted with parents in the water to the age of 28 mths. Depending on ability classes are of 4 or 5 students maximum.
