Congratulations to Lisa Shrestha and Joseph Assi who were elected as Club Captains for 2024/2025.

Championship races

This morning we are holding the 400 metre Freestyle Championship races. Good luck to everyone competing.

  • to qualify to swim in a Championship race you must have swum that stroke and distance already this season;
  • check the entry limit conditions for the number of races you can swim on a morning Championship races are held.

Infrastructure Grant Application

Whilst we await the long promised modernisation of Merrylands Swimming Centre we have this week submitted a grant application through the Office of Responsible Gambling Clubgrants program for funds to undertake some infrastructure improvements at the swimming centre.

The grant sought is for a new shade shelter at the deep end of the 50m pool and update of the male and female changerooms. Stay tuned for more information once we hear if we have been successful with the application.
