about us

In early 2021, new professional standard diving blocks were installed which now leaves the club with an excellent facility and coaching by Jayden Hadler who has a proven track record.

In March 2018 Coach Steve Hadler retired and his son and former Olympian Jayden took over the Head Coach position.

January 2017 saw the pool emptied and the liner replaced, as well as the repainting of walls and fences in the new College colours.

Our Club’s first competitor was 6 year old Aurora Kellam-Pearson who competed in 25m events at Kingaroy Open in January 2005.  We then had 3 representative swimmers from the Hann family in the Brisbane Age and Open Meet in 2006.  By then we were in full swim attending local meets and sending a team to the Club’s first Qld Championships in 2006 which included future Olympians Blake Cochrane and Jayden Hadler.  2006 also saw the start of our Club Nights which have been a great hit ever since.

Southern Cross Swimming Club started in 2004 when Coach Steve Hadler became Head Coach. Prior to this it was home to Redcliffe Leagues Lawnton Swimming Club under Ken Wood who moved to Redcliffe War Memorial Pool in 2001.
