Professional coaching to meet your needs, Marlin Swimming Club welcomes you!
Marlin Swimming Club is a community based, family-friendly Club, where our children can improve their swimming skills and fitness levels in a competitive yet fun and motivating environment. We regard social development as an important element in the growth of our youth.

The main objective of Marlin Swimming Club is to teach, develop and train all our members regardless of gender, ethnic origin, religion and/or disability. Our swimmers train to compete at club races and at targeted meets against swimmers from other clubs with equal ability. Our long term goal is for our swimmers to compete at school, provincial and national competition levels.


Our Head Coach 
Anwar Rinquest

He recognises the need for basic water safety skills to prevent drowning in the broader Western Cape. He is one of a few coaches in the Western Cape who has completed the revised and CATHSSETA (Culture Art Tourism Hospitality and Sports Sector Education and Training Authority) approved Swim South Africa Level 1 Coaching Course in 2014. This international qualification enables the coach to conduct structured squad training, prepare specialised training plans per squad and individual skill level and develop fitness programs in a safe and controlled manner. He started competitive swimming at the young age of 8 at a local club in Cape Town and progressed to National Levels in Swimming and Water Polo. Participating in Surf-Lifesaving competitions inspired him to achieve high level qualifications in water safety.

He is currently a contracted Swim Coach at Virgin Active and also the Head Coach of Marlin Swimming Club. Although he has vast aquatic experience, his passion remains within the scope of teaching basic water safety and fundamental swimming aptitude.
