St Peters Western Swim Club is based at St Peters Lutheran College at Indooroopilly. The Club patron is Mr Adrian Wiles, Head of College.

SPW is primarily the competitve arm for SPLC students who wish to swim competitively.

The Club has enjoyed major success over recent years, with SPW consistently appearing in the list of top 10 clubs in Australia at National Open and Age Championships. Our success has continued this year with an amazing ten of our swimmers making the 2012 London Olympic team.

Our SPW 2012 Olympians are: Stephanie Rice, Bronte Barratt, Meagen Nay, Leisel Jones, Yolane Kukla, Kenrick Monk, Ryan Napoleon, Nick D'Arcy, Ned McKendry and Mitch Larkin.

These swimmers are a fantastic inspiration to our younger swimmers and occasionally some of our senior swimmers will make a vist to Club Night!

We are also fortunate to have a wonderful line up of coaches, led by Head Coach Michael Bohl, OAM. The 2008 Australian Coach of the Year was also a member of the Australian coaching team for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and is again for the 2012 London Olympic team. Michael has seen some of his swimmers such as, Stephanie Rice, Nicholas Sprenger and Glen Housman win Olympic medals.  Michael was also a swimmer who represented Australia at the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane in 1982 and has been named the 2010 Age Group Coach of the Year.

Dean Boxall is SPW’s Assistant Coach and leads the Intermediate squad.

Michael Lewandowski leads the SPW Junior squad. He is a master of technician and is doing fabulous work with the juniors. Mick has coached two swimmers to Age Nationals this year and three swimmers to Primary School Nationals. His enthusiasm and work ethic has definitely rubbed off on his swimmers. Mick has a Bachelor of Excercise Science and a strong swimming and surf lifesaving background.
