Bring a Friend For Free This April
We know staying motivated on your own can be tough. That’s why this April, we’re making it easier to stay on track by inviting you to bring a friend along for free.
From April 1 to April 30, active members can bring a friend to train, swim, or join a class together at no cost. It’s a great way to stay accountable, try something new, and keep the momentum going as the semester gets busy.
This offer is available for friends who have not held a MUSAC membership in the past 6 months.
More details on how to register will be emailed directly to members soon.
Court Cancellation Reminder
If you’ve booked a court and can no longer attend, please remember to cancel your booking as soon as possible. This helps make courts available for other members who are looking to play.
To cancel your online booking, please get in touch with the team at sportadmin@mq.edu.au or call us on (02) 9850 7636
To support the best and fairest experience for all members, repeat non-attendees may have their online booking privileges temporarily suspended.
MQ Swim Club at The Sydney Open
The Sydney Open attracts the top swim clubs in Australia each year as an early hit out prior to nationals in April and Aussie Dolphin Trials in June.
Congratulations to all 11 Macquarie Uni Swim Club team members on qualifying to compete at a meet with many current Aussie Dolphin stars present. Great to see Matt Swinbourne make the nighttime finals in his 3 entered events and finishing 4th in the 100 Breaststroke, 6th 100 Freestyle and 7th 100 Backstroke.
Macquarie University senior swimmers now focus on Open and Age nationals on the Gold Coast in April.

You can now book full courts through the online portal, giving you more ways to make the most of your time at the centre.
Please note that full court bookings are not included in membership and require payment at the time of booking.
