our story

2021

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.

2018

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

2017

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

2006

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.

2004

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.

COACH

I came from a swimming family. My parents owned and operated their own swim school, and both my sister and I swam competitively. My swimming journey did not lead me to the Olympics, but it did lead me to a love for the sport so strong that it fuelled a career. I started teaching Learn to Swim in South Africa in 1998, by 2006 I transitioned into coaching. I love the sport of swimming and everything it has to offer. I believe swimming has the power to enrich young people’s lives far beyond athletic ability. Swimming offers a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle if everyday life. It teaches patience, resilience and the importance of a strong work ethic.I’m very excited to be part of Ripple Swim and Southern Cross Swim Club. I believe we are building and creating a something very special.
“Coaching is about being an active participant in a team, learning from it, improving by being part of it and in return contributing to its legacy.” Paul Fryer - Waterborn Swim Coach
