Wichita Swim Club

 

The Wichita Swim Club was founded in 1954 by legendary Wichita sports figure, Bob Timmons. Coach Timmons led the Swim Club through the early years and later became the track & field coach at the University of Kansas. Soon after it's inception, the Wichita Swim Club became known across the Midwest as a quality program which gave Wichita youngsters an excellent activity and vehicle for growth. In 1960, Wichita Swim Club member Jeff Farrell won 2 gold medals in the Olympic Games and his story was chronicled in the book, Six Days to Swim.

Swim Club has continued to provide excellent coaching and has produced many excellent swimmers throughout the years. For many years the team practiced at the Love Aquatic Center on the campus of Wichita Collegiate School. In 1980, Wichita native and WSC member, Ron Neugent, earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team. In 1986, Anne Mahoney represented the United States on the World Championship team and won four national titles in backstroke from 1987-89. In 1988, The United States Olympic swim team was headed by former WSC swimmer, Richard Quick. WSC has been well-represented recently at the Olympics by Caroline Bruce in 2004 and Jarrett Perry in the 2004 and 2008 Paralympics.

Wichita Swim Club moved into its present home, the Garvey Aquatics Center, in February of 1991. WSC is one of only a few parent-owned swim clubs in the nation, with its own pool and facility. The Club owns the facility outright, but the cost of upkeep and improvements remains the sole responsibility of the WSC member families. Thanks to the generous support of Willard Garvey, Bob Love, and others, Wichita Swim Club enjoys unrivaled flexibility and convenience which is the envy of swim clubs across the nation.
