Who is Southside Aquatics Inc?
Redeemer Lutheran College is home of Southside Aquatics Inc Swim Club.
Southside Aquatics is a First Division Club with the Brisbane Swimming Association (BSA). We compete in local interclub, regional, state, national and international meets.
Each swimmer is placed in a training squad that best suits their skill level. Sound technique and proper fundamentals are addressed at all levels; with each level being a natural transition to the next.
In striving to achieve personal goals, the club's emphasis is on building character, discipline, desire, determination and confidence in each swimmer. This prepares our swimmers to handle challenges presented in elite level swimming, as well as in other aspects of their personal lives - life skills used for many years after leaving the sport.
At Southside Aquatics swim club, we understand the real meaning of winning is to reach one's true potential, and not the place you finish in the pool.
