South Maroubra Dolphins

The South Maroubra Dolphins Winter Swimming Club was founded at Wylie's Baths in the winter months of 1960 as an off-season activity for the members of the South Maroubra Surf Lifesaving Club. These days, the club is open to everyone and each year welcomes both new and old members of all ages and swimming abilities.

The pool's position on the southern headland of Coogee makes it ideal for winter swimming as it faces North and is protected from the prevailing southerly and westerly winter winds.

Events commence for all standards of swimmers at 8:30 am every Sunday from the first Sunday in May to mid September. Everyone is catered for with handicap races over 400, 200, 100, and 50 yards (365.76, 182.88, 91.44, and 45.72 meters).

Each week there is a keenly contested relay and, throughout the season, speciality events such as Cock of the Walk, Knockout, monthly and seasonal point scores, and grade and age championships.

Races finish at approximately 11:00 am, and for those who are interested, there is lunch and light refreshments available at the South Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club for the remainder of the morning.

The South Maroubra Dolphins Winter Swimming Club welcomes new members of all ages and swimming abilities.
