Welcome to our website
 

Marple Swimming Club is a competitive, friendly and sociable swimming club based at Marple Swimming Pool which is situated close to the centre of Marple.

Our primary purpose is to train and maintain a competitive swimming team providing equal opportunity for all and an environment in which each swimmer can endeavour to realise their full potential. We cater for all age groups and abilities providing lessons for absolute beginner infants through to coaching sessions for senior competitive swimmers. Adult lane swimming sessions are also available. Read more about us here

If you are interested in joining the Club or would like any additional information or advice, please either come down to the Club on a Friday evening or Contact Us.

Presentation Evening 2012

A wonderful evening celebrating the success and commitment of our swimmers and the invaluable help and support of friends and family. Congratulations to all our trophy and award winners! Huge thanks to all those who made it possible!

 

Club Kit
 
 

Club kit plays an important role in making members feel part of a team and in projecting a professional and united image at competitions and galas - the Club encourages all swimmers to wear it. As a minimum, competitive swimmers will need a Club hat.

To purchase kit or to place an order please speak to the Club's Kit Coordinator, Rachel Ross, or contact her at rachelross2011@hotmail.co.uk.

Kit may also be purchased on a Swim Shop evening which is usually held at the pool on the first Friday of each month from 7p.m. to 8p.m. Please check the pool Notice Board for further details.

Back to winning ways!
Well done to all swimmers who swam in the intertown against Wilmslow on 12 May 2013 - another fabulous win! The Juniors were outstanding, only coming second in two races, and the small team of only 13 Seniors put in a masssive effort! A big thank you to Simon Knighton for swimming for the Seniors despite completing a triathlon earlier in the day! Special thanks too to Georgia for swimming despite racing all weekend at Manchester and to Maisie and Alex for swimming when Katelyn was injured. A great TEAM effort! Lucy (Posted 13/05/2013)

Marple swimmers show resilience in hard fought intertown gala!
Very well done to everyone who swam against Saracens tonight, Friday 12 April. It was a very close gala and although we didn't quite manage a win this time, everyone swam their best and there was great team spirit. Results were - Juniors: Marple 45, Saracens 39; Seniors - Marple 34, Saracens 50; overall Marple 79, Saracens 89.

Thanks as always to everyone who came to help and support.

Only two more galas to go this season - May 12th at Wilmslow and June 23rd at Copley v Hyde. Caroline (Posted 13/04/2013)
