Southside Penrhos Wesley Swimming Club
Welcome to SSPW
Southside Penrhos Wesley is a community based A grade swimming club affiliated with the WA Swimming Association that welcomes ALL swimmers. Club members do not have to be a student at Wesley College or Penrhos College. The club focuses on development of junior and age-group swimmers. Southside Penrhos Wesley Swimming Club was established as Maida Vale Dolphins in 1978 and was originally based at the Maida Vale Pool near Kalamunda Road. In 1994 the club relocated to Wesley College in South Perth and changed its name to Southside Dolphins. The club later changed its name to Southside Wesley Swimming Club to both advertise our location and mark our close relationship with Wesley College. The most recent name change to Southside Penrhos Wesley (March 2007) was to emphasise the importance of our two major squad training pools and secure access to these incredibly valuable resources into the future.
