Welcome to Hervey Bay Swimming Club and Swim Squad – a community-focused club dedicated to helping swimmers of all ages and abilities thrive. Whether you're diving in for fitness, fun, or competition, our experienced coaches and supportive squad environment provide the perfect platform to grow in and out of the pool.
OUR SQUAD PROGRAMS
Our squads cater to a wide range of swimmers, from young beginners graduating from learn to swim/TCS to competitive athletes chasing personal bests. We train at the Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre in the 25m and 50m pools. With structured squads, expert coaching and a strong focus on progression, Hervey Bay Swimming Club offers a pathway for every swimmer. We value teamwork, personal growth and creating a positive, inclusive environment for all.
Our squad sessions are based on weekly attendance, swimmers are welcome to attend as many sessions within the week as they like. We also offer convenient pay-as-you-go options for casual attendance. We understand the juggle of multiple swimmers! Families receive a 10% discount for their second swimmer, 20% for their third (does not apply for PAYG/holiday program).
