Our home is the Des Renford Aquatic Centre (at Heffron Park) where we run Club races every Friday all year round, sign-on by 6.15pm.  All are welcome to come along and have a trial swim.

Our aim is to encourage swimming and provide swimming opportunities for all levels of ability - whether competing at carnivals held by other clubs and associations or just to swim socially in a Club atmosphere.

What's happening

 

 

 

This season we will again be running the PB club to encourage all swimmers to try and better their times each week. On the last Friday of each month we will also be having a Parents swim and during the summer months a free BBQ.

We will also be running our 10 years and under Junior Invitational time trial in March for swimmers from local Eastern Suburbs swimming clubs and our major event, our 14 years and under Development Carnival in May. We usually get over 300 swimmers attending this meet.

Our Race Secretary has organized a new service called Team Manager Online and this website holds all of our swimmers times. This is very handy when you are preparing entries for meets etc and you need to know their fastest times. You can access this website from the Top Times button on this page.

Thanks also to our President Yvette who successfully lodged an application with the Federal Government for a grant of $4,000 and we have purchased an additional 9 electronic stopwatches that will allow us to hold official meets without having to hire the equipment from Swimming NSW. 

We are also in the process of ordering new cossies and these should be available within the next 4 weeks.

Presentation Day / AGM

Our Club Presentation and AGM were held at the South Maroubra Surf Club on Sunday 22nd Nov. Despite the heat and parking it was a great afternoon and we'd like to thank South Maroubra Surf Club for the use of their premises.

Congratulations to all swimmers on their achievements throughout the 2008 - 2009 season. Photos from the day will be available soon.

2009 - 2010 Committee

Welcome aboard to the new members of the committee for this season. The new members are Maxine Taylor, Jade Bonello, Sam Green, Simone Finati and Linda Grosz. The complete committee can be found here.

Life Membership

After more than 10 years involvement with the club including holding various positions on the committee, Debbie Baxter was awarded Life Membership of the club. Congratulations to Debbie.

Membership Renewals

Membership renewals are now due.

Non Swimmers (Parents) are $15 Swimmers are $70 for the year

Renewals are being taken in the club room prior to 6:30 pm each Friday night

Weekly $1 Entry

With many club members submitting their weekly attendance/entries online parents are forgetting to pay their $1 per person entry fees each Friday night. This money goes towards the purchase of computer equipment, timing equipment, stationary and the expensive weekly pool hire charged to us by Randwick City Council.

We kindly ask for each family’s cooperation in paying this weekly fee.

Ron Saville

After more than 30 years of continued support from Ron & Anne Saville via his Butcher shop we are no longer able to offer a meat tray for raffle each week. Ron is retiring and we wish him many years of relaxation, good health and enjoyment. Your committee is currently seeking a replacement sponsor to supplement this raffle. Any suggests see us pool side.

Attending an away swimming carnival

As more swimmers are now attending swimming carnivals held by other clubs here is a summary of what our members should wear when representing Maroubra Swimming Club:

It is mandatory to wear the club uniform (Maroubra cossies, swim cap and either a T-shirt, fleece or track suit jacket with the club's logo) for all away swim meets

Gather around our “Maroubra” banner

All swimmers sit together during the meet.

Cheer for team-mates when they're swimming

Always speak with the DRAC coach before and after you swim (if they are in attendance at the meet)

 Respect all other competitors

And most importantly - Enjoy the meet!

Our Club adheres to the member protection policy issued by Australian Swimming Inc and more information can be found here.

All Club Nights are Qualified Time Trials

Approval was granted by the MetSEA that every Friday night at Club is a qualifying time trial during the 2009 Summer and Winter Seasons.  This means that our swimmers can get qualifying times for entry to various swimming carnivals conveniently at Club.
