Histoire administrative
By 1907 the Moose Jaw River had become a heavily used recreational centre. The Moose Jaw aquatic Club was formed as a non-profit organization with the prime interest to foster aquatic sports and a place where the young people of the city could meet in wholesome and worthwhile athletic and social activities.
In 1912 the Club hired local architect Sholto Smith to design a club house on the riverbank. The official opening was held on August 7, 1913. During the 1920's and 1930's the Club thrived, hosting swimming and boating events, regattas, and dances. It became affiliated with the Canadian Amateur Swimming Association. In 1934, Phyllis Dewar, a Club member won 4 gold medals in swimming at the British Commonwealth Games.
In 1948 the club house sustained damage due to vandalism and flooding. In the late 1950's the building was moved south from the river up the bank to its present location of 276 Home Street East and was altered. It is now the home of the South Saskatchewan Wildlife Club, known as the Sportsman’s Centre.
It is unclear what happened to the members of the Aquatic Club. There is no documentation in the Library Archives as to when the Club ceased. Other swim clubs were formed and probably absorbed the members of the Aquatic Club.
