Casey Seals Masters Swimming Club
Who are we?
The Casey Seals Masters Swimming Club caters for adults (over 18 years of age, although younger swimmers are also welcome) with varied abilities and training requirements ranging from social swimmers (some do more talking than swimming) through to national-level competitors, including open-water swimmers and triathletes.
Many of our swimmers compete in the Victorian open water swimming races held over summer at various beaches around Port Phillip Bay and the Victorian open ocean beaches. Our coach, Ebony Ebenwaldner, is one of Australia's top open water swimmers. She has won the Lorne Pier to Pub ocean swim twice (2004 and 2008) and is usually on the podium after her races. See more information, including the Casey Seals Open Water Swim Calendar, on the Open Water Swimming page.
Where are we?
We are based at the Casey Aquatic and Recreation Centre (Casey ARC) which is situated adjacent to the Fountain Gate Shopping Centre on Overland Drive, Narre Warren, a south-eastern suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. The club is affiliated with Masters Swimming Victoria (formerly AUSSI Victoria).
