The Wagga Wagga Swimming Club Inc is one of the oldest Swimming Clubs in New South Wales, established in 1897. The Club would train down at the old Wagga Beach and swim against the current.
Buoys marked the lanes and there was certainly no tumble turns at each end. Swimmers caught their breath as they floated back to the start with the current.
Lifesaving was incorporated into the Club’s name (May 1991) because members of the Club would perform lifesaving duties at the Wagga Beach. The word Lifesaving was only removed recently (Sept 2008) to avoid public confusion as the club could no longer offer Learn to Swim classes or do Lifesaving duties (Both now supported by the Royal Lifesaving Society Australia NSW directly to the Oasis Aquatic Centre). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
