History

When the Club was first established it swam at the Coogee Aquarium and Swimming Baths. In December 1969 the Club moved to Sunstrip Pool (now called Wylie's Baths). For a few months during the 1973/74 season the Club swam at the Ross Jones Memorial Pool beneath the Coogee Surf Life Saving Club, before moving to the Coogee-Randwick RSL Club Pool later that season. The club moved back to Wylie's Baths in November 1978 and has been there ever since.

In 1996, the Club celebrated its 100th anniversary. Life Member, Ron Brombey, created a Centenary Video for the occasion.

In 2021, the club celebrated its 125th Anniversary with a formal dinner held at Coogee Surf Lifesaving Club. Various local dignitaries were in attendance.
