Dickson is a summer only, community swimming club. It encourages participation in swimming by people of all ages, and provides an entry point to higher level competitive swimming.
The Club operates out of Dickson Aquatic Centre and is an affiliated member of the ACT and NSW Swimming associations.
Our main activities are:
- A weekly swimming night, held on Friday evenings from 6.00pm - 7.00pm, which involves various timed events, sometimes handicapped.
- Weekly training session during the summer season - (with a break over the Christmas/New Year period). Training sessions are held on Sundays from:
(a) 9:00 - 9:30am for beginners;
(b) 9:15am for warm-ups;
(c) 9:30 - 10:30am for intermediate to advanced swimmers.
Accredited, qualified coaches take the Sunday Morning Coaching Clinic.
