Formed as a small training group in 1997 at Leeming Rec Centre, it then moved over to the old Melville Aquatic Outdoor pool.

​

The training group formed itself into a club and based itself at Leisurefit Aquatic Booragoon in 2013/14 until undergoing a relocation beginning in April 2022.

​

With membership growth every year, an outstanding member performance both in triathlon & multisport, with 5 x high Level Triathlon Australia Accredited Club Coaches, plus efs also ticks the boxes with a strong proactive committee at the helm.

The Legend of the Rat                                              

 

In the early days (about 1998) there were not a lot of lane space days for a tri squad available, so we all did an early morning 6am river swim in summer once a week at Pt Walter.      

The wildlife didn’t like sharing their riverbank very much (big grotty hairy coated river rats) & the nickname began of doing the “river rat swim” … which eventually turned into the “rat logo” after we finally obtained lane space available at the pools on a permanent basis.
