M A N LY M A R L I N S & M E R M A I D S S U P P O R T W O M E N ’ S S H E LT E R S Manly District Rugby Union Football Club (Manly DRUFC) was formed in 1906, but records show rugby was played in Manly prior to this - in 1883 the Manly Beach Football Club advertised in newspapers of its existence and that its home ground was Ivanhoe Park. Manly council purchased Ivanhoe Park on 17th December 1883 and ultimately it became known as Manly Oval in the 1890s, locally known as the Village Green.

Manly adopted a royal blue jersey in 1923 and became known as the Manly Blues. In 1997, Manly RUFC adopted the name “Marlins”, now well known not only at a grade level, but globally.

Manly Oval continues to be the Marlins home ground, with the adjacent Manly Bowling Club offering great facilities to accommodate the Manly faithful throughout the season. Of course, Mounties Group have been proud major sponsors of Manly Marlins for the best part of a decade.

The Manly Mermaids were formed in 2015 and played their very first game July 4, 2015. Mermaid Club Captain Janelle Garland has been playing for the Mermaids since its 6th season in 2017. The Mermaids have grown from strength to strength, from 10 players starting in 2015 to now have over 50 players with three players from the Mermaids representing the Australian

Rugby 7s and two Marlin players representing the Australian Rugby 7s.

The Club field thirteen teams in senior rugby, 3 Mermaid teams with approximately 35 players, 4 Marlin grade teams with 25 players in each team and lastly, 3 colts’ teams with 25 players in each.

Mounties Group is proud to continue supporting the Manly Marlins and Mermaids, on and off the field, with their Ladies Day fundraiser raising in excess of $7,000 last year. The money going towards the Northern Beaches Women’s Shelter.

With the unfortunate high levels of domestic violence in Australia which only increased during the COVID-19 lockdowns, the Manly Marlins & Mermaids saw an opportunity to help women in need in their local community. On average one woman

per week is murdered by her current or former partner, 1 in 3 women has experienced physical and/or sexual violence perpetrated by a man they know.

Almost 10 women a day are hospitalised for assault injuries perpetrated by a spouse or domestic partner.

This year, Mounties, Harbord Diggers and Manly Bowling Club are again happy to support their Ladies Day fundraiser held on 30th April. With all proceeds from the fundraiser to be donated to the Northern Beaches community and Women’s Shelter.

Female Club Captain Janelle Garland of the Manly Mermaids is ecstatic for the continued support, “We love the Diggers - the Diggers have helped hold all our important meetings, club personal functions and fundraising assistance with last year’s ladies’ day. We wear the Mounties logo with pride!”

BENEFITS OF LEARNING TO SWIM There are so many benefits in learning to swim, that they are almost impossible to measure. But the good news is that the science is well and truly in. Just like Forbes Carlile always said, “to swim well is an asset for life.”

The top five benefits of learning to swim.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

It can save your life. Learning to swim is the MOST important step, it must be at the top of the list. It is a lifesaving skill and a must for every Australian child.

Great fitness. It is low impact, provides a whole-body workout, is great for the cardiovascular system, has proven mental health benefits and helps improve sleep.

Builds confidence and resilience.

For a child being able to swim well is great for their confidence. They will approach these things without apprehension knowing “I’ve got this”.

Swimming is a gateway. Learning to swim opens the door to competitive swimming, water polo, surfing, surf lifesaving and more water-based activities.

It’s fun. For kids swimming is fabulous, with the right nurturing approach even hesitant children learn to love and respect the water.

The top five benefits of baby swimming lessons.

1.

Creates a familiar and comforting memory for babies

2.

Great bonding with your baby

3.

Getting started earlier is more pleasant than waiting until they are toddlers and their memory of the womb has faded

4.

Allows them to explore independent movement whilst being supported

5.

It’s fun. There are lots of songs and giggles.

The benefits of learning to swim for preschool children.

A four-year research study found children who attended regular swimming lessons improved physical, emotional, social and cognitive skills. In fact, compared to the non-swimming population, the 3 to 5 years olds in the study were: •

11 months ahead in verbal skills

•

6 months ahead in mathematic skills

•

2 months ahead in literacy skills

•

17 months ahead in story recall

•

20 months ahead in understanding directions
