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.

Time to Celebrate!
Congratulations and a huge well done to all the swimmers who took part in the Celebration Gala on Saturday 2nd July at Grand Central Pools! The team finished in fourth place overall and came home as winners of the Handicap Trophy for the first time since 2004
- a fantastic achievement!
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 8pm. Please check the pool Notice Board for further details.

Intertown update
Thanks and well done to all the swimmers who took part in the last two intertowns of the season. On 29 April 2012 Marple managed to clinch victory in both the Senior and Junior events against Wilmslow winning by 87 points to 78 overall. The tie against Saracens on 11 May 2012 was lost by 68.5 points to 95.5 points overall but there were some very close finishes in the Seniors event and excellent swims by the Juniors left them only 5 points behind Saracens. Many thanks to all the parents and friends who gave up their time to help at both galas. (Posted 13/05/2012)
