The Townsville Brothers Swimming Club, located in Kirwan, is a thriving swim club that welcomes both existing and new members. Led by a dedicated executive committee and coach, the club aims to foster open communication and provide opportunities for swimmers to excel both in and out of the water.
The primary objectives of the club are to increase participation in club nights, interclub carnivals, and state carnivals, promote the full range of swimmers, organise social activities, and maintain financial sustainability. The club seeks to strike a balance between quality coaching, state-of-the-art equipment, a competitive atmosphere, and an affordable environment for families.
Under the guidance of Head Coach Bindi Cussen since 2012, the Townsville Brothers Swimming Club has seen tremendous growth, transforming from a small club to a highly successful one with numerous swimmers competing at state meets. Coach Cussen's assertive coaching approach, which emphasises hard work, has contributed to the club's increased membership and swimmers' success. The club has been represented in various state championships, including the State Short Course, State Long Course, and State Sprint Championships.
One of the club's standout features is its year-round access to the Kirwan Aquatic Centre, where swimmers can train and compete. Furthermore, the club benefits from its close association with the Love2Swim School, as their swimmers have the opportunity to witness the potential of joining the Townsville Brothers Swimming Club during the club nights.
The Townsville Brothers Swimming Club offers Junior, Pre-Senior, and Senior squads, catering to swimmers of different ages and ability levels. The club also organises various social events throughout the year, which are promoted on their website and Facebook page. Additionally, the club has recently introduced a Masters Club called The Aquaholics, welcoming mature athletes of any age to participate in training, competitions, and club nights.
The club values input and suggestions from its members and actively encourages them to contribute to the ongoing improvement of the club. The Townsville Brothers Swimming Club recognises the essential role played by sponsors and welcomes potential sponsors to support their endeavours.
Prospective swimmers who wish to experience the club can attend a trial session at the Kirwan Aquatic Centre at 3:30 pm on any afternoon to meet Head Coach Bindi and have a swim. Contact information for joining the club is available through the swimming club.
