 A welcome and inclusive community of like-minded open water swimming enthusiasts. Some come to swim, catch up with mates and share a laugh! Others enjoy the competition and personal challenges. Whatever the motivation, the outcomes are valuable and personal milestones often achieved. Tasmanian swimming destinations are always stunning, often trying, but worth having a dip!
