Lightning Swim Club

Welcome to Lightning Swim Club!

A place and a group of people that just love swimming. Around water is where we feel at home, where our dreams start to come alive, and we are compelled to be our best.

A life of excellence through water.

We Grow

- We grow by striving to be the best version of ourselves, whether in the pool, on the pool deck, or behind the scenes. We understand that success comes from consistent effort, curiosity, and dedication to the process. We embrace learning as a lifelong journey, where progress is more important than perfection. And we know that the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary

We Strive

- We reach ever higher - setting goals, facing challenges, and doing the hard work to achieve them. Whether we’re training, organising events, coaching, or supporting others, we bring focus, preparation, patience, and reflection to everything we do. We take pride in personal best, whether that’s a race time, a well-run event, or a breakthrough moment of leadership or learning.

We Support

-We show up for each other. We listen, encourage, celebrate, and have fun together. As swimmers, committee members, parents, and volunteers, we are united as a team. We believe that the success of one is a win for all, and we build a culture where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered to thrive.

Achievement in sport, as in life, needs a balance between mind, body and spirit.

Lightning is the result of nature balancing itself, and the results are phenomenal!

We are Lightning, and we are glad you are too.

It is time to strike!

About us

Lightning Swim Club (LSC) was established in September, 2022. It is Townsville’s newest competitive Club and based at the Northern Beaches Leisure Centre (NBLC). LSC aims to support swimmers work toward their goals whether it be recreational, for local competitions, or as an Olympic hopeful!
LSC is affiliated with Swimming North Queensland, Swimming Queensland and Swimming Australia. The club promotes swimming by facilitating opportunities for members to participate in local, state and national swim meets, in addition to hosting our own Open Meet.
All club members are expected to train with Rackley Swimming North Shore (Rackley) based at NBLC. Contact Rackley directly for an assessment and to find out more about training sessions, times and prices. Contact details are on their website:

Rackley welcomes new members into the swimming community, and LSC works closely with the Rackley Coaches to encourage swimmers to join our swimming family at the club. The Committee promotes excellence in swimming and contributes to the development of pathways.
Swimming is a great way to stay healthy, fit and active and the club provides a safe environment to allow every swimmer to maximise their potential. The club provides opportunities for the local community to engage in the sport in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. A holistic approach ensures our swimmers can achieve balance in and out of the water to promote a fulfilling life.
