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.

From the field - another report from Lisa

Campbell town Swimming Carnival, 25^th July, 2010

What a busy day we all had we had 13 swimmers competition including myself. The photos from the day can be found inside.

Special mention to our youngest swimmer Stephanie Sinapi who won gold in the 12 Meter back stroke loved it that much that she just swam right through the rope every one was clapping for her also she came  3^rd in the 50 free she also swam her PB and had a great day!!   What I was amazed about was William Woodward who came 2^nd in the 50 breast and smashed his PB time by wait for it…….. 11.48 seconds his legs must have been moving like propeller jets well done William.  And Anthony what a race came 3^rd in the 25 Fly well done, this was also PB.  Another mention Leonie Fu 1^st in the 50 Backstroke another PB and 2^nd in the 50 Free.  Rhiannon Carr swam 200 Fly for the 1^st time and came in second I know how you felt because I also swam that race my arms were like lead weights and I thought I was dying.

I thought it was a good carnival and I thought it was great to see so many Maroubra swimmers who all swam their best I hope you all had fun.  There are not many months left of winter and in winter we normally swim short course this means it’s in a 25 meter pool and summer is long course which is a 50 meter pool I would like to do another short course soon and would love to see more of you there.  Happy swimming.
