About Us

Samford Stingrays Swimming Club has allowed the local children of Samford and surrounding districts to swim for fun and fitness since its inception in 1992.

Samford Stingrays is dedicated to its members, families and the local community. We are all about having fun whilst encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle for our children.

Our main objectives for this swim season are:

1. To promote swimming.
   We want to encourage as many children as possible to join our club, swim all the strokes and improve their personal best at club nights, inter-club friendly and competitive meets.
    
2. To be family-friendly.
   We provide a safe, fun and friendly environment for club nights at our exceptional home base, the Samford Pool.
    
3. To encourage team and community spirit.
   We want our members to be proud to be part of the Samford Stingray family. Our success is driven by the passion of our swimmers, families, and sponsors, who work together to support swimming in our community.

We Love Volunteers!

We always need volunteers for club nights, carnivals, and events. If you can lend a hand, please get in touch with our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@samfordswimclub.com.au.

We always need help with timekeeping, marshalling, serving at the BBQ, and setting up/packing on Friday club nights. As part of membership with Stingrays, we expect every family to volunteer at least once for BBQ duty.  Our Volunteer Coordinator is responsible for creating a roster so every family is aware well in advance of their rostered week. 

The club is a non-profit organisation, and all funds raised are reinvested into it for the benefit of its members. Samford Stingrays Swim Club is affiliated with Brisbane Swimming, Swimming Queensland, and Swimming Australia.
