Join us at Brighton Jetty on Sunday, 2 February 2025

This is your chance to be a part of something bold, empowering, and just a little bit unique. Because by being a part of the Marilyn experience, you are joining forces with some of the bravest women (and men!) you’ll find. 

At the heart of every Marilyn is one common drive—to make a difference in the lives of South Australians impacted by cancer. 

Darling, it's time to get your Marilyn on and make a difference!

How will you Marilyn?  

There is more to the Marilyn Jetty Swim than the swim itself, but Darling, it’s all part of the fun!

Here’s the run-down of how being a Marilyn works:

Register

Be bold, be brave, be fabulous – Sign up with the Marilyn Jetty Swim to join our glamour of Marilyns and make a real splash. Choose to take the plunge and swim 400 metres around Brighton Jetty, or stay dry and sashay on the shore.  

Get the Marilyn look

A lot of effort goes in to looking as fabulous as me, Darling! Purchase your swimsuit, swim ring and pop on your blonde wig and sunglasses and join our inspiring glamour of Marilyns!

Raise money

Benefit from expert fundraising support and enter amazing competitions. If you’re new to fundraising, it isn’t as hard as you might think, and you don’t need to jump straight into the deep end – we are here to help every step of the way.

Make a difference

Every dollar raised will help Cancer Council SA invest in ground-breaking cancer research, empower people to reduce their own risk with prevention education and provide essential support to everyone affected by cancer.

This is the Marilyn Jetty Swim

This group of bold, fabulous women (and men!) swim or paddle 400 metres around the Brighton Jetty every February, as part of the Channel 7 Brighton Jetty Classic, dressed head to toe as our favourite ‘50’s icon Marilyn Monroe. And they do it all to raise much needed funds for Cancer Council SA’s life-saving cancer prevention, research and support services. 

To date, our sea of blonde bombshells have raised over $1 million for South Australians impacted by cancer.
