The Casey TigerSharks
Swimming Club (formerly known as Cranbourne Tigersharks) was formed
in the 1980's to cater for a growing demand
for competition swimming in the Cranbourne
area. The black and yellow club uniform with the tigershark
logo was a familiar sight at pools across Victoria and
the Cranbourne Tigersharks trained at the old Cranbourne
Indoor Pool in Grant Street .
In the late 1990's the
club experienced significant growth and the Cranbourne
Tigersharks included swimmers from the Cranbourne area but also fro
other parts of the City of Casey. In 2001 the club decided to
change its name to appeal more broadly to the growing population
within the City of Casey.
The Tigershark theme
was retained and the Cranbourne Tigersharks became the Casey
TigerSharks. The club has a new club uniform and the
modern orange tigershark logo has replaced the traditional black
and yellow. The club's training facilities have grown as
new aquatic facilities have been built in the area by Casey
