Sinkers Make A Splash At Aquathon 

Members of the Sinkers Masters Swim Club are a versatile lot and regularly join in other clubs’ events as well as hosting their own. 
On Australia Day 2026, the Mackay Triathlon Club hosted the Aquathon, with a number of Sinkers competing in the sprint, 2.5km run and 300m swim legs, with many even running and swimming the distances twice. 
A great team effort.

Sinkers Masters Swimming Club isn’t just for swimmers. It is inclusive of non-swimmers, those learning to swim again and a few using the water to recover from injury, as well as some serious competitors. The club holds regular social events with a morning tea held after each Saturday morning session at the DMR Memorial Pool. For information, please call Megan on 0439980103.
