Mentone Icebergers

Who are the Mentone Icebergers?

The Icebergers group at Mentone has existed for over 40 years and has been informally associated with Mentone LSC for the past 15 years. The club has now created a membership classification that will allow Icebergers to become officially affiliated with Mentone LSC. This classification is referred to as Mentone LSC Community (Iceberger) membership.

Please note that you must be recognised as a member of the Mentone Icebergers first before you can apply for the Mentone LSC Community membership. Please contact Jurgen at icebergers@mentonelsc.com to begin your application.

What is the criteria for being recognised as a Mentone Iceberger?

To be considered as part of the Mentone Iceberger group you would need to:

1. Swim at dawn with the Icebergers 3-4 times a week.
2. Swim without a wetsuit.
3. Swim during the winter months.

What are the benefits and limitations of this Community membership at Mentone LSC?

Members under this classification will have access to the ground floor amenities in the club house, which includes shower and change rooms. (Non-members will use the public facilities, external to the club house.)

Membership under this classification requires that you must be 16 years or older as at 30 September and any member over the age of 18 years must provide a current Working with Children Check. Members must comply with all the requirements of general membership, including the Code of Conduct.

Exisiting members of Mentone LSC cannot transfer their membership to a Community Membership  but are entitled to participate in the activities of the Iceberger group.

The use of club equipment for activities other than open water swimming is not included. Competition surf craft is not available for use by members of this classification.

The group will be entitled to representation on the Community Partnership and Sponsorhip sub committee.
