In 1956 in the Peakhurst area there was not much for young people to do, so with funds raised by the community it was decided to build a local pool.  After several years of further fund raising the building of the pool commenced in 1960 and the pool opened on 16 January 1961.  

Not long after the pool opened Peakhurst Amateur Swimming Club was formed where they conducted learn to swim classes.

Swim Club as we know today began in Summer 1962/63.  Only 1 season per year was swum until April 1978 when Winter Season was introduced, giving swimmers the opportunity of swimming all year round or choosing to swim either Summer or Winter and participate in other sports.

Recently Club membership records dating back to 1962 were located and these records have been updated, retyped and are now included in the Club’s membership records.

A full copy of the membership records can be found along with all other records held at Club.

Below is a table showing swimming members both first and second claim and officials from 1962 to current date.

From the information listed on the above table you can see that Peakhurst Swim Club has always been a healthy Club with member numbers over 200 in the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s.   Dropping to over 100 members in the late 80’s and early 90’s.  Members from the mid 90’s to today remains from 50 to 100.  Dramatic changes in member numbers can be related to a large number of sports being introduced to children over the years.

Peakhurst Swim Club also continues to have a large number of officials and volunteers who continually help out on Club days or attend to the many tasks that need to be done behind the scenes from week to week.

From the early days of Club we have many members who have either swum continuously or have had a break and returned and clocked up some impressive years membership as you can see from the table below.
