NSWC Marlins Swim Club

Support the NSWC Marlins Swim Club – Celebrating 60 Years!

For 60 years, the NSWC Marlins have been building more than strong swimmers—we've been building confidence, friendships, resilience, and a lifelong love of sport.

As a volunteer-run, not-for-profit club, the Marlins rely on fundraising to provide equipment, training enhancements, and special opportunities that go beyond what program fees can cover. Every dollar raised helps sustain the positive, supportive, and fun environment that has made the Marlins a cornerstone of our club for six decades.

By bidding on this auction item, you're investing in the next generation of Marlins swimmers and helping preserve a legacy of hard work, sportsmanship, teamwork, and achievement.

Thank you for supporting 60 years of Marlins excellence—and helping shape the next 60 years to come!

NSWC’s Marlins swim program develops competitive swimmers of all ages in a fun and focused environment. You and your swimmer will quickly see that while swimming is an individual sport, the Marlins have an incredibly strong sense of team.


We train in NSWC’s outdoor pool facility between May and mid-August, where our athletes focus on stroke (freestyle, butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke) and race (dive starts, turns, streamlines and breakouts) techniques toward continual individual improvement, within a strong team context. 

While Marlins provides high intensity cross-training for athletes, many quickly get the bug to race and swimmers are encouraged to compete in at least one meet and the Regional Championships each season. Competition allows a swimmer to showcase their progress, and to contribute to the team’s points (collected at meets), but most importantly, to create memories of a lifetime alongside their teammates in Marlinville.


Our Marlins swim team is one of the larger teams in our Vancouver & District region, and we are proud that we continue to rank highly across the province from a points-per-swimmer perspective  achieved in regional and provincial competitions – this is a direct result of our swimmers being multi-sport athletes.
