About Manly Diggers Swimming Club
Manly Diggers Swimming Club is a community swimming club on Sydney's Northern Beaches, gathering each week at the Andrew 'Boy' Charlton Aquatic Centre on Balgowlah Road in Manly. Built around the simple ideals of fun, friendship and fitness, the club brings together swimmers of all ages and abilities for a relaxed but active morning in the pool.
This is a family-friendly club in the truest sense, with a multigenerational membership where grandparents, parents and children all swim side by side. Rather than offering formal coaching or structured lessons, the focus is on regular recreational swimming and good-natured competition, including handicapped races and events that level the field so everyone can take part regardless of speed.
Throughout the season the club also joins the wider amateur swimming community, taking part in the annual carnival hosted by clubs across the region. With clubrooms shared on East Esplanade and regular social BBQs, Manly Diggers is as much about belonging as it is about laps, making it a welcoming home for anyone in Manly who loves the water and the company that comes with it.
