Welcome to the Albany Creek Swim Club.
Our club aims to provide an enjoyable and supportive family environment that fosters participation at all levels of swimming ability. We aim to extend and improve the art of swimming and encourage personal commitment to a regular training schedule and involvement in all club activities.
Albany Creek Swim Club is based at the Albany Creek Leisure Centre with whom we enjoy an effective and valued partnership. Please click HERE or go to the "Find Us" link to see where we are located.
2011-12 was a very successful year for the club, highlighted by finishing second in the Brisbane Premier Division, we also improved 7 positions at the Queensland State Championships by finishing 10th overall and we conducted a very successful winter short course meet. Our success in the swimming pool is directly attributable to an effective committee, highly respected and successful coaching staff and our swim team who pride themselves on hard work.
Our club coaches are led by Head Coach Richard Sleight and include Sharon Berry and Cheryl Lowe. We also welcome Marcelino De Lima as State Squad coach for 2012.
Thankyou to the 2011-12 committee. In particular, thankyou to our immediate past president, Leanne Blaney. With the support of your committee, you have left the new committee with a club stronger than when you took over and better positioned to achieve our objectives.
Our 2012/2013 committee is:
| President: | Danny Short | | Vice President: | Trish Herring | | Secretary: | Elise Stapleton | | Treasurer: | Mark Lampre | | Registrar: | Tracy Joyes | | Race Secretary: | Di Parikka | | Uniform Convenor: | Marisia Woolf | | Website Manager: | Andrew Beighton | | General Members: | Gordon Meikle, Julie Morrison |
Our current 2011/2012 club captains, who always take the time to welcome new members and assist our younger members whenever they can, are:
| Senior Captains: | Josh Richardson |
| Hannah Beighton |
|
| | Junior Captains: | Rory Scott |
| Isabel Lampre |
I strongly urge all members to read the Albany Creek Swim Club Strategic Plan which not only sets out our mission, vision and role but also sets out our objectives. Our club is about our swimmers and we will continue to support them to ensure they have every opportunity to realise their full potential.
Good communication is central to our club and this website is an effective and useful way in which we as the committee can communicate with all our members. Contact details of all committee members can be found by clicking HERE, or by navigating to the "Contact Us" link on this website. I strongly encourage you to make contact if you have any matter you wish to discuss.
Our swimming club is fortunate to be supported by a number of valued sponsors. Please support these businesses whenever you have the opportunity:

In 2011-12 our club had around 130 competitive swimmers of which over 50% were aged 12 years or younger. An extraordinary 99% are aged 16 years or younger! The 2012-13 season looks promising as our younger swimmers become a little more experienced and are set to benefit from our highly skilled coaches supported by a strong and happy club.
The Albany Creek Swim Club is proudly supported by the Albany Creek Leisure Centre

See you around the pool.
Danny Short President Albany Creek Swimming Club
