I C E B E R G S // Bondi Icebergs started in 1929 when a band of dedicated local lifesavers needed to maintain their fitness during the winter months.
They formed the Bondi Icebergs Winter Swimming Club and drew up a constitution and elected office bearers.
Included in the constitution was a rule that to maintain membership it was mandatory that swimmers compete on three Sundays out of four for a period of five years. This rule still exists and has been much commented on over the years.
Bondi Icebergs is the only licensed Winter Swimming Club in the world.
Since its beginning back in 1929, the Bondi Icebergs has forged a reputation as one of Australia's most famous Winter Swimming Clubs.
