Amateur swim club gets ready to make a splash
Club President Graham Edwards said swimming was one of the most popular sports for Active Kids voucher redemption last season – number one for females and second for males across the Cumberland LGA – and the club’s Learn to Swim program would make a splash again in early 2022.
“Our club started in 1968, the same year that the Merrylands Swimming Centre opened, and we have a very diverse membership across age, gender and cultural backgrounds reflecting the local community,” Edwards said.
“Covid-19 has impacted our club, as it has affected the whole community and it has been over six months since our members have been able to enjoy a swim until now.
“We are very excited to start our season this coming Saturday.
“Swimming is an important part of the Australian sporting and leisure landscape and our club offers a range of swimming activities including club races, and squad training as well as Learn to Swim.”
