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 Learn - How to live our best life by working to be the best swimmer we can be. That success comes from enjoyment of, and dedication to the process, and that the only place that success comes before work is in the dictionary.

We Strive - Ever higher. Learning how to push our body and mind to achieve. Through planning, preparation, patience, performance, and evaluation, we chip away at our own goals and find immense satisfaction in our own personal best.

We Support - Each other. We laugh together and encourage each other in and out of the pool. We are a Team who are motivated by and find joy in our teammate’s achievements. In our pursuit for our individual goals, we know that when one of us wins, we all win.

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 the North Shore Swim School (NSSS) based at NBLC. The NSSS welcomes new members into the swimming community, and LSC works closely with the NSSS 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.
