The Sons of England and Daughters of England societies existed in Swift since at least 1915 and until the 1940s. Like the early Fraternal Societies, Sons of England offered insurance policies. The S.O.E. regularly competed against other local clubs and organizations in sporting events, and Carpet Ball in the Masonic Temple.
The St. George’s Society was a more recent society than Sons of England, but was a similar type of organization. St. George’s Society only existed in the 1980s and 1990s, but the group brought together people with a similar heritage. The Society sponsored a local soccer team and held an annual Guy Fawkes night.

The concept of organizing a baseball program for old-timers was instituted by the Saskatchewan Baseball Association board of directors at their annual meeting in 1975. From the beginning emphasis was stressed that the program was created to be a fun-oriented movement and restricted to players 35 years of age and older.
The Southwest Naturalists were founded in Swift Current in 1994, with the help of Nature Saskatchewan.
