Our Club

Established on 1 December 1930, Canberra ASC is Canberra’s oldest swimming club. We have a long and rich history associated with swimming in the ACT region. Our home pool deck is at the Gungahlin Leisure Centre, with the YMCA as our affiliated training provider.  Whilst our training program seeks to increase the number of individuals achieving the highest possible levels of representation, we also look to develop the abilities of swimmers across levels in an inclusive approach.

Canberra ASC continues to support local development, distance and qualifying meets with large numbers of swimmers in attendance and enjoying success. The Club continues to grow in strength with a strong group of junior swimmers now making their way into the senior ranks with some of largest teams competing at NSW Country and State Championships and Australian Age Championships.
