The Maroubra Seals Sports and Community Club was first envisaged in 1962 when members of the Maroubra Seals Winter Swimming Club and the Maroubra RSL Club headed by Bob Harron and John Shore decided that they needed a licensed club, where they could meet socially, conduct meetings and at the same time financially assist lifesaving on Maroubra beach. On the 11th August 1964 the newly registered club opened its doors at its current location. Initially consisting of limited facilities such as an indoor squash courts, bars, electronic gaming machines and snooker tables, the Seals Club has grown to become one of the leaders in the Club Industry. The Club has grown to a membership of over 10,000 and employs over sixty staff.
