ABOUT THE CLUB

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.
