Kings Swim Club is a non-profit sporting club originally formed in 1983 by Phil King under the name “Mornington Aerobic Swimming Club” which ran out of Aerobic Health and Fitness Centre, Nepean Highway Mornington. The club was started to allow swimmers who were graduating from Phil’s learn-to-swim program to keep swimming and progress their skills. In 1992 Phil started up the Kingswim Learn to Swim Franchise and decided to change the squad name to Kings Mornington Swimming Club.

The three lane 15 metre pool at Mornington was not ideal for a squad based program so the club was forced to use pools at Toorak College and The Pines in order for squad members to gain experience in 25 metre and 50 metre pools, but these were outdoor pools and only suitable during the summer months. In 2003, thanks to the combined efforts of Phil and the Frankston High School Committee, an agreement was reached to build a six lane 25 metre pool in the school grounds and the club moved to Frankston High School.  In 2007, the club expanded to include Narre Warren to provide an avenue for the large number of graduates to continue their swimming.

After many years of bearing the name Kings Mornington Swimming Club it was decided in 2017 to change the name to Kings Swim Club, as we no longer have squads training out of Mornington.

In February 2021 we saw significant change in our overall operation of KSC.   These changes included moving to and embedding an awesome partnership with Splash's Dandenong and Berwick..  

Kings Swim Club is proud of the success of all our Squad Members at every level and celebrate the success of our former Squad Members who have gone on to achieve incredible success on the international stage.
