We also include 100 and 200 IMs, 200m and 400m events. See our calendar for details. In summer, club races are held in the outdoor 50m pool (unless foul weather sends us indoors). In winter, we race in the indoor 25m Competition Pool. Our club nights provide a great opportunity for swimmers to put into practice their stroke and racing skills in a safe, relaxed and friendly environment. It also provides an great opportunity for families and parents to meet one another. Maroubra is a member of the Metropolitan South East Area (MetSEA) , which is an association of 40+ Clubs within the City of Sydney, Eastern Suburbs and Sutherland areas.
