CLUB HISTORY
The Club was formed in 1920 when the newly created City of Mordialloc (now the Kingston City Council) donated two bathing boxes to the newly formed Mentone Swimming and Life Saving Club on the site to the south of the former Mentone Pier.
The inevitable conflict between the self centred interests of a swimming club and a service orientated life saving club became evident soon after and the swimming club relocated to the former Mentone Baths opposite Warrigal Road.
The Life Saving Club raised funds to build a new Clubhouse on the site and this was officially opened in December 1928 with the first Carnival Day of January 1929 - photos of which are in the Clubrooms today.
The club recently published a history book 'Down to the Beach', which can be purchased below.
