ETHOS
Due to its location and history, Marion Swimming Club has a rich
diversity of membership across many water sports.
- Culture of friendship, encouragement and mentoring
From the very young to the young adult, members of all ages relate
together in friendship, with older members using their experience
to encourage others and receiving opportunities to develop their
leadership abilities.
Parents are an integral part of their child’s sporting life.
Parents and swimmers alike have a shared commitment to
the success of the Club through fundraising, timekeeping,
training as officials or helping at carnivals.
