09.01.2022 UPDATE Hello everyone! Tonight should be our last night for this first part of the swim season BUT given the weather forecast for today, we've made the decision to CANCEL swim club tonight. So no swimming tonight!

08.01.2022 In our eyes Hayley Bendl is a true Murwillumbah Swimming Club Superstar . She always represented our club with style and is a terrific role model for our swimmers. We are getting her back for tonight!!!! Yayyy!!! She will be doing a Breaststroke clinic to help our swimmers improve - so we'll be getting those froggy legs going. ... This clinic is for every swimmer from our youngest to oldest so please come along as it's a chance to learn some new skills. We'll be swimming our pointscore swims after the clinic which will be Freestyle and Breaststroke. Don't miss it!!!!

07.01.2022 Swim League matches are miles away from your traditional swimming competition. Two swimming teams are pitted against each other in a match that takes place in ...less than 60 minutes. There are no qualifying times needed to take part, no ongoing training sessions to attend and no official timing on the day. Instead, swimmers race head to head to score points for their team. Whoever has the most points at the end of the match is declared the winner. Watch now to see how it all works on the day! https://www.swimleague.com.au/register
