One of the few sports activities in IIT, where we now boast about several National level swimmers; one of those activities that dispels the running myth that IIT students just study,study and .......! The Swimming club started functioning in 1983. Since then, every year, one or more swimmers, have regularly been selected by Maharashtra, to represent the State at the Nationals. Several campus youngsters have got motivated to join, and have excelled at the sub-junior/junior level. The IIT Swimming club regularly holds NSO swimming activities for students. Advanced swimming camps are held year round for swimmers showing promise. The IIT Aquatic team has made a habit of returning with the GOLD from almost all Inter IIT Aquatic meets held so far. Every year, triathlon competetions are held for IIT students and campus children. A 12-hour SWIMMATHON, is an annual event eagerly awaited and gleefully entered by IIT students and campus children. The high point of the year is the Annual swimming Gala, a State level swimming meet, normally held in February. Considered a very prestigious swimming event in Swimming circles, it attracts the best from all over the state. The IIT coach is Dr. P. M. Reddy.

The club organizes regular weekend treks in the Sahayadris, to provide a respite from the rigours of IITian life and to keep people in touch with Nature.
