Kawana Waters Swimming Club is a small but growing club on the Sunshine Coast, focused on rebuilding participation and creating strong foundations for the future.
With the appointment of Head Coach Janelle Pallister OLY in late 2025, the club is entering an exciting new phase. Janelle brings experience, passion and a strong focus on athlete development, helping swimmers build sound technique, confidence and a genuine enjoyment of the sport.
We provide a positive, family-oriented environment that supports swimmers of all ages and abilities — from those new to the sport through to competitive athletes. The club values respect, commitment and personal improvement.
Based at the Kawana Aquatic Centre in Bokarina, which underwent a substantial upgrade in mid-2025, the club has access to excellent facilities including a 10-lane, 50-metre pool and a 6-lane, 25-metre pool, both heated during winter for year-round training.
While swimming is our primary focus, we also support members involved in surf lifesaving, water polo and triathlon, recognising the benefits of developing versatile, well-rounded athletes.
As the club continues to grow, our focus remains on building a strong culture, strengthening our community and providing clear pathways for swimmer development.
