Wett Ones is Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Swimming club and was established in 1991. We are an inclusive club and welcome all lesbian, gay, transgender, queer, bisexual and heterosexual swimmers and their friends interested in swimming and related activities. Our goal is to support and encourage swimming at all levels in a friendly environment. While our main focus is on swimming in the pool, our members compete in various carnivals, ocean swims and triathlons too. 

At Wett Ones, we try to cater for all swimmers: the beginner to the advanced. Because we use several lanes, we have a program to suit you in our swimming sessions, from stroke correction through to advanced training for competition. Our coaches are all accredited, ensuring training is soundly based.

The club is now one of the top Masters Swimming Clubs in NSW. We have also been members of Team Sydney and the International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics (IGLA).

For more information on our past have a look at our club history.

Masters Swimming is an Australian and International organisation of adult swimming clubs. Members are over 20 years old, and they swim regularly to keep fit and have fun. Swimming is a very important form of aerobic exercise because the body is supported by water reducing the chances of injury.

In Sydney Masters Swimming supports members in various ways: individuals can have their times recorded at the club or state level in aerobic swims. Interclub State, National and International carnivals are also encouraged. Wett Ones has its own carnival each year. The goal of these events is to encourage swimmers, and support their endeavours; competition is only one aspect supported by participation at carnivals.

Wett Ones has summer and winter training. All sessions are held in specially reserved lanes.

Fitness / Social / Competition

We offer it all!

Fitness and Health
Come along and try out the training sessions. Coached sessions offer a range of approaches, from developing fitness to rigorous training. We are sure you will benefit from our programs. Training advice is also available from our coaches to help you when you are swimming by yourself.

Social
Social activities are very important to our members. Swimmers often meet after training, to eat, socialise or hit the pubs and clubs. We have a weekly after training get together at the Royal Hotel in Abercrombie street every Wednesday, brunch every Saturday morning after training at Andrew Boy Charlton pool, post-ocean swims coffee, and other organised social activities depending on what is on in Sydney at the time.

Competition
Wett Ones swimmers compete regularly in Masters competitions, the open ocean water swims held off Sydney's beaches each summer, and triathlons. Talk to our race secretary for the latest carnivals. Masters carnivals cater for all ages, abilities, strokes and distances. Your coach will help you determine appropriate carnivals/open water swims.
