The Bondi Icebergs date back to 1929 and were simply a band of dedicated local lifesavers who
wished to maintain their fitness during the winter months. They formed the Bondi Icebergs Winter
Swimming Club, drew up a constitution and elected office bearers.

The Icebergs became licensed in 1960 and the members moved from a tin shed into comfortable
premises with bar and poker (i.e. "slot") machines. A further update took place in the 1970s
enabling the club to operate on two floors. In 1994, female members were admitted and in 2002,
the club opened entirely new premises which we see in this image.
