About
Our swimming club was proudly established in 2009 . We are a competitive swim club based in the beautiful Sans Souci area in Sydney’s south.
Although competitive, with a strong record of swimming competition success, we are welcoming of swimmers of all ages and abilities. From those who can triumphantly swim their first 25m event, through to those qualifying and medalling at State and National competition level, all are welcomed and celebrated at the Sea Devils.
Our club nights are held every second Friday from 6pm at the Sans Souci Leisure Centre, between October and March each year. All club night events are swum in our outdoor Olympic sized pool. We hold 25m, 50m, 100m and longer distance events throughout the season.
Our squad swimming program is run by Off the Blocks Swimming Academy and through the guidance of our Head Coach Alex Sheil. Coach Alex started as the Head Coach at Sans Souci in October 2023. He is a Silver licensed Advanced level swim coach with a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management. He holds a Certificate III in fitness and is Strength and Conditioning Certified.
Prior to coaching the Sans Souci Sea Devils, Coach Alex began as a Junior Development Swim Coach at St. George Swim Club. Before spending five years as the assistant coach for SLC Aquadot, coaching swimmers qualifying for State and National Championships.
Coach Alex spent fifteen years as a competitive swimmer, winning State championships and National Age medals, and competing at Open Nationals and Australian Trials. He then attended college in the United States on a swimming scholarship and competed at the NCAA National Championships.
Coach Alex has also been involved with swimming as a Learn to Swim Instructor in the United States, Vietnam, and Australia.
Coach Alex is supported by a strong team of coaches. Between them they have over 50 years of coaching experience! It goes without saying that our Sea Devils are in very good hands.
We look forward to welcoming you to our club.

We’re a passionate coaching team who’s mission is to help all of our swimmers reach their full potential.
