Support a Marilyn or team!

Join our iconic Marilyns and make a real splash!

Every February hundreds of fabulous South Australians take part in the Channel 7 Brighton Jetty Classic, swimming or paddling 400 metres around the Brighton Jetty, dressed head to toe as ‘50’s icon Marilyn Monroe! All to raise much needed funds for South Australians impacted by cancer.  

How it works

Register

Sign up to take the plunge as a Swim Marilyn or stay dry and participate as a Shore Marilyn.

Get the Marilyn look

Purchase your swimsuit and swim ring, and pop on your blonde wig and sunglasses to complete the look.  

Raise money and have fun!

Raise funds for South Aussies impacted by cancer in the lead up to the big swim on Sunday 2 February!  

Why join our glamour of Marilyns?

Around one in two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the time they turn 85. 

By taking part in the Marilyn Jetty Swim, you’ll be helping to raise vital funds for life-saving prevention, research and support services for all South Australians impacted by cancer.
