Swim, Compete, And Socialise With The Sinkers

Masters Swimming is for all adults over the age of eighteen. There are no age limits to be a member of Masters Swimming Queensland (MSQ). In fact, many members started their adult swimming in masters several decades ago and continue to enjoy the many benefits of swimming and club life.

Masters Swimming Australia aims to provide an environment that encourages all adults, at a club, state and national level, regardless of ability, to swim regularly or compete to promote fitness and improve their general wellbeing.

The North Mackay Sinkers Masters Swimming Club has been going strong for over 30 years providing training sessions, pool and open water swimming events, travel opportunities as well as social events.

A number of non-competitive programs are available for all members and include the Endurance 1000, Vorgee Million Metres, Lane Warriors and the MSX program. All these programs are generally self-paced and keep the motivation levels up.

All are welcome to come and try group sessions.

Mondays: Memorial Swim Centre, Milton St. Mackay, be there at 5.30pm for a 5.45pm start.

Wednesdays: North Mackay State High School, Valley St. North Mackay, be there at 5.30pm for a 5.45pm start. This is a coached session led by the club’s coach, until April 10th

Saturdays: Memorial Swim Centre, Milton St. Mackay, starting at 8am to 9am followed by a social on site for members to mingle.
