About Us

The club was established in 1962 and was originally known as the Waverley Amateur Swimming Club (WASC), operating at the Waverley Outdoor Pool on Waverley Road, Glen Waverley.

In 2000-2001, the Waverley Outdoor Pool was refurbished and the Monash Aquatic and Recreation Centre (MARC) was built. 

In 2001, the Tate Family (who operated the Bev Tate Swim School at Mount Scopus College in Burwood) approached the City of Monash and the WASC about operating a squad program at the newly built MARC.  The WASC agreed to merge with the Bev Tate Swim School and a new program was created, commencing in December 2001. Swimmers trained at the MARC and the Mount Scopus College pool.  

To reflect the new program and the change in names of recently merged city councils, the WASC was renamed M1 Swimming Club in 2002. The name 'M1' is a reference to the nearby Monash Freeway. The name M1 can also be considered as 'Monash' 1. 

In 2002, the Squidline Swimming Club at Harold Holt Swim Centre in Glen Iris - overseen by coach Rod Skudar - also merged with the club. Rod extended his squad program to also operate at GESAC (from 2012) and Carnegie Swimming Pool (from 2025).
