The swimming development program at the Macksville Memorial Aquatic and Fitness Centre is designed to give participants the opportunity to progress from swimming lessons right up to state and national level competitive swim meets – if that is their personal goal.
Working closely together with the Macksville Marlins Swimming Club, participants who wish to compete and reach their athletic potential, have the opportunity to do so with support and guidance from both the facilities and the swimming clubs programs and activities.
Foundation Squad
This Squad provides a nurturing environment for swimmers learning how to train. Foundation Squad is the first of 2 linking programs (from swimming lessons to squad) and continues progress from swimming lessons (including learning up to 25m butterfly).
Foundation Squad provides an opportunity for swimmers to train to their level of ability in a structured program.
Junior Swimming Programs
Junior Swimming Programs are designed for swimmers aged 12 years and under. These provide opportunities for swimmers to continue from swimming lessons into squads, via our seamless linking programs and into our progressive Junior programs.
We offer a nurturing environment for swimmers who would like to learn more about racing and also those that enjoy swimming for fitness, fun and recreation.
Senior Squad
The Senior Squad teaches swimmers how to train for competitions, target swimming well at Inter-club and district level meets, and guide those aiming for state or national qualifying times.
Swimmers learn how to set goals and see their commitment through from start to finish.
