is the oldest
established swimming club in Brisbane. The club celebrated
its centennial year in 2003, and continues to provide
encouragement and support to its swimmers whether they be club night
beginners or Olympic
and World champions.
Originally formed as a ladies only club in December 1903, the Ladies
Commercial Swimming Club met every Saturday night at the Spring Hill
Baths.
In September 1913 a group of men formed the Commercial
Amateur
Swimming Club which also met at the Spring Hill Baths.
Although
they were separate mens and womens clubs, there was considerable
cooperation between the committees and members to make both clubs
successful over many years.
The two clubs amalgamated in June 1974 to form the Ladies and Mens
Commercial Amateur Swimming Club which later became the Commercial
Swimming Club Inc.
