Welcome to the Temuka Swimming Club


The club has been running since 1903 and has contributed to the community not only through improving children's skill but also by donating facilities. We cater for all levels, from those not yet confident in the water through to National Level swimmers and everyone in between!

We have a solid committee who are dedicated to providing the best opportunities for our members.

Club nights are Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Temuka club runs 2 carnivals one in December at the Temuka pool and one in January at the 50m pool at C Bay. 

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact a member of the committee

Brief Club History

1903  1st Club was formed & used the river by the Traffic Bridge....even holding competitions.

1908  Club went into recess

1911  Club restarted

1912  Coronation Baths 25yds with a diving board, were built on the west side of present bowling green.

1960's  Training began,  with some swimmers competing within Eastern Districts.

1970  Current pool in Fergusson Drive was completed.

Coal fired heating was put in by the club to heat the water at the beginning of a season.

Pool covers were used to help keep the water temperature up.

1986- The big flood caused some real problems & the old covers were ruined. Replaced by TDC with Bubble wrap,  the Club sourced funds & bought the original covers of the type used today. It took several years to pay them off & then the TDC took them over.

2002  The present heating system was installed after fundraising by the Town & Club.

2021- New 25m pool
