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.
