In 2026, our fabulous Marilyns are making a splash at Marion Outdoor Pool for a special poolside edition of this much-loved event. Bringing the community together to fundraise for South Australians impacted by cancer.
Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect on the day:
From 9:00 am:
- Check in at the Marion Outdoor Pool – you'll be greeted by our marvellous Marilyn volunteers who will check your name off and provide you with your swim bag full of goodies.
- Add those finishing touches to your fabulous Marilyn look – find a quiet spot to perfect your makeup, fluff that wig, and get camera ready!
- Gather for speeches from our Founding Marilyn Sarah Tinney and our Cancer Council SA team, reminding you just how beautiful, fabulous, and powerful your fundraising efforts are. Because darling, you're changing lives!
- Group photo – it's time to celebrate this incredible sisterhood before we dive in at the pool!
From 10:00 am:
- Time to have fun, darling! Check out the amazing food vendors and stalls, soak up the pool party vibes, and get involved in all the fabulous activities on offer. When you're ready to make a splash, hit those water slides and dive into the pool – it's time to shine!
From 11:30 am:
As the day winds down, it's time to celebrate everything we've achieved together.- Speeches resume – hear from a cancer researcher about the real-world impact of your fundraising.
- Founder, Sarah Tinney, takes the stage to thank our incredible Marilyns and everyone who made the day possible, and present awards – recognising your phenomenal fundraising efforts.
- Around 12.00 pm the 2026 Marilyn Jetty Swim: Poolside Edition will conclude, and Marion Outdoor Pool reopens to the public – but the impact you've had for South Australians impacted by cancer will last forever!
