A Team with a Long, Long Past!
These Swans have been around for ages, even before your grandparents were born! They started way back in 1873 as a different team called the South Melbourne Football Club. They played in red, which is why people sometimes called them the 'Bloods'. Later, in 1983, they moved all the way to Sydney and became the Sydney Swans we know today. That's a lot of history for one team!
