Next Meet: Term 4 2012, Graceville State School Pool.

GLSC provides an organised swimming competition catering for all levels of ability, all strokes of swimming, and for all school age children. We also provide a race for the younger swimmers at the beginning of the night. It's a fun and friendly volunteer run organisation, and we are welcoming all past members to re-sign up, and invite new members to join our club.

What better way to end the week than to enjoy a BBQ, a few drinks with friends, and watch the kids have a great time in the pool! That's what you'll get when you sign up for the Graceville Lightning Swim Club, (GLSC). Our 2011-12 season is about to kick off in 4th term with swim meets held every Friday night from 6-8pm at the Graceville State School Pool. First meet was Friday, 14 October, 2011.
