About the
Marilyn Jetty Swim

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!

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.
