Welcome to Warringah Aquatic Swim Club
Whether your swimmer is just starting out or aiming for State, National or International competition, WASC has a membership option to suit their swimming journey.
As a WASC member, swimmers can access Club competitions, Inter-Club meets and opportunities to qualify for Area, State and National competitions. We also run our own Club and Inter-Club meets throughout the year, providing a supportive environment to gain race experience and improve times.
