Notes:
The Aquatic Club made its debut at Springfield College in the fall of 1938 and existed through the 1959-60 school year. The main purpose of the club was to aid in the “advancement of aquatics and promotion of the aquatic, social, and cultural life of its members” (yearbook 1939). The Aquatic Club sponsored events such as an annual dance, guest speakers, movies on aquatics, and guest swimmers of national fame. The social spotlights of the Aquatic Club were the annual Freestyle Fling dance and the traditional Water Carnival. The Water Carnival was typically held during the winter term and featured swimmers in the national spotlight. In the fall of 1960, the Swim Club made a short one year appearance before being replaced by the Marlin Club in the fall of 1961.
