Darwin Swimming Club
our history

Darwin Swimming Club is the oldest established Swimming Club in the Northern Territory. We started swimming in 1960 when Parap Swimming Pool was opened and haven’t looked back since.

Our logo is the water buffalo, a traditional logo for all ‘Darwin’ clubs which has been modified to the smiling buffalo we use today and whilst not easily linked to swimming it has a long heritage in Darwin, Northern Territory.

We cater to a wide variety of swimmers, from kids straight out of learn-to-swim schools, to swimmers competing at national competitions, to adults keeping fit and everything in between. Our club provides a nurturing and supportive coaching environment by focusing on the individual and holistic needs of our swimmers. This includes building their physical, mental and emotional strengths to thrive on the global stage.
