The Yeronga Park Swimming Club has a long and proud history in local, state, national and international arenas of the sport. Established in 1965 by the Henry’s family who are still members of the club today, the club has evolved to its current standing through the hard work of dedicated swimmers, parents and coaches. The members display great Club spirit in all activities and events proudly wearing the club colours of Green and Gold.

The Club enjoys a great association with Shelly the Leasee of the Yeronga Park Swimming Complex whose support has been a corner stone of the clubs success.

Our club is proud to have as its patrons Mrs. Hazel O'Brien, Mr. Russell Henry and Mr Kevin Kelly. Life members of Yeronga Pool include the Van DerZant Family, Shelly Douyere, the Mewing and de Ambrosis families and Jason Cooper and Ray Cooper.

YERONGA PARK SWIMMING CLUB recommences September 2010 for the 10/11 season.  We will have booklets at the front desk informing members of the swim meets for the season and what is on each Wednesday evening for club night.
