Marlin Coast Swim Squads

Marlin Coast Swimming Club is based out of Smithfield Bicentennial Pool, about 15km north of Cairns. We have a heated 50m open air racing pool and a heated undercover pool for training and Learn to Swim lessons. We welcome swimmers of all ages and abilities to our club, with regular club nights throughout the swimming season.

Our club nights enable swimmers of all abilities aged 4-18 years old to come down and have a try at swimming in a relaxed and supportive environment. Come along and have a try! For more information visit: https://marlincoast.swimming.org.au/
