I am reasonably certain that what you want is a regular 1 Gbps SX SFP,
which can be purchased from lots of sources. You can even get "Cisco
branded" SFPs (so the 3560 will recognize it without complaints) from
multiple sources, at a reasonable price.

As long as you're using multimode fiber and a Netgear switch with a
normal GigE port, you definitely don't want CWDM SFPs.
