The Waterlions Swim Club took shape around 1978, when Wayne Lawes brought
together a group of swimmers at the Freeway Sports Centre in Dandenong. The
squads trained at Freeway Sports centre for the following few years as the team
grew in numbers and stature. In 1989, Wayne took the Waterlions to the King
Club in Sandringham, where our swimmers trained alongside the King Club
Squads and Swimming Victoria District Three members. After about 3 years at
the King Club. The Waterlions moved to the Dandenong Oasis Pool, this time
training at the same acility as the Oasis Swim Squads. The club is based at the Haileybury College pool (the Grenda Aquatic Centre) in Keysborough, a south-eastern suburb of Melbourne. This is one of the main competition pools in Victoria, hosting many competitions for the club and Metro District South, and has had many international teams training there. To be part of the Waterlions Swimming Club you do not have to attend Haileybury College. The Waterlions Swimming Club welcomes swimmers with disabilities.
