Kiama Swim Club’s winter pointscore competition will begin this Friday, coinciding with the launch of the club’s new logo and refreshed brand identity.

Unveiled on April 13, the new logo has been described by club member Jemma Haythorpe as a much-needed update for the club, which was first established in 1953. 

“The new branding both celebrates the club’s proud history while also looking to the future,” and reflects its “inclusive, energetic, and community-focused approach,” reinforcing its role as a key part of Kiama’s coastal lifestyle.

In its 72-year history, the club has prided itself on supporting swimmers of all ages and abilities, even helping to develop future champions. 

“The club has played a role in the early careers of elite athletes like Sally Fitzgibbons and Ali Day, showing that big dreams can grow in small communities,” says Haythorpe.

Today, the club continues to strengthen its place in the region’s swimming ecosystem through programs like the Friday Night Pointscore, competitive pathways, and training for surf lifesavers and triathletes.

It is also launching a new community engagement campaign, working closely with local schools, surf clubs, and sporting organisations to welcome new members.

Over the past six months, Kiama Swim Club has had swimmers compete at both regional and state levels, with standout athlete Trae Spencer qualifying for the national championships.

The winter pointscore competition starts Friday, May 2 at 7pm. New swimmers are invited to join, with two free trial sessions available. To register your interest, email [email protected].
