The Doncaster Dolphins Masters Swimming Club is an adult swimming club affiliated with Masters Swimming Australia, the National body, and was established in 1983. It is one of the longest running Master Swimming Clubs in Victoria.
The club is managed by a Committee of volunteers who support a membership base of over 100 swimmers ranging from 18 years of age to people in their 90's.
Club members vary in ability from beginners, who only started swimming after reaching maturity, to members who have been swimming most of their lives.
We are a competitive club, with some members holding State, National and World records whilst others swim purely for fitness, fun and friendship. We value all members equally.
