There’s no limit to the number of friends you can bring along, so whether it’s a gym session, swim, or class, now’s the perfect time to introduce someone to MUSAC.

Friends will receive access aligned to the membership inclusions of the member bringing them along. That means if your membership includes gym, pools, Group Fitness or Reformer Pilates, your friend can enjoy those spaces and classes with you too.

The only condition is that friends must attend alongside an active member.

For more information, speak to the front desk on your next visit.

Busy gym environments can sometimes feel overwhelming for people with sensory sensitivities, disability, anxiety or who are neurodivergent. Quiet Hour aims to create a calmer and more welcoming environment by reducing noise and visual stimulation throughout the gym.

During Quiet Hour:

• Gym music and lighting are reduced
• Reception phone volumes are lowered
• PA announcements are paused where possible

We also kindly ask members to help support the environment by minimising loud conversations and avoiding dropping weights where possible during this time.

Quiet Hour currently runs:

• Wednesdays, 9:00am–10:00am
• Fridays, 9:00am–10:00am

Quiet Hour is open to everyone and reflects MUSAC’s ongoing commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all members of our community.

Throughout the semester we saw great participation, strong team spirit and plenty of memorable moments across every competition night. Thank you to everyone who took part and helped create such a fun, welcoming and competitive environment week after week.

Clementine Monet, a Macquarie University student, is currently conducting an Anthropology Ethnographic Project exploring how and why people swim in outdoor pools and is looking to hear from swimmers within our community.

There are two ways to get involved:

• Participate in a short 15-minute interview 
  Email: clementine.monet@students.mq.edu.au

• Complete a quick 5-minute survey here

Participation is completely voluntary and all responses will remain anonymous within the final research project.

It’s a great opportunity to contribute to real academic research while helping share the experiences and perspectives that make our swimming community unique.

If you have a submission you’d like to make about how we can improve our facility or our services, feel free to share via the online feedback form.

And don’t forget to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates.

Yours in health and fitness,
