The Fairymead Swimming Club was established in 1956 by a group of swimming enthusiasts eager for social interaction and competitive swimming. It is affiliated with Swimming Queensland (SQ) which controls and administers the sport of swimming in Queensland. SQ acts in accordance with the rules and regulations of Swimming Australia Inc. (SA) which in turn functions under the International Swimming body called FINA.
The Club is managed by a Management Committee selected at an Annual General Meeting. The committee meets at 7. 30pm on the first and third Tuesday of each month. Everyone is welcome to attend these meetings.
