Mount Barker Swimming Swimming Club

The Mount Barker Swimming Club started off as Mount Barker Amateur Swimming Club in 1957 when the club was officially established, marking the beginning of an enduring community institution.
For over sixty years, under the name Mountain Pool Amateur Swimming Club, the club fostered generation of swimmers and played a vital role in local aquatic sport.
In 2024, in a move grounded in democratic tradition, the members voted to rename the club. Unbeknownst to many at that time, this change restored the club’s original name – Mount Barker Swimming Club – thus reconnecting with it’s roots and honouring the legacy of those who founded it nearly seven decades earlier.
