1. Winter swimming
The Winter swimming season is nearly here! Although the water temperature may be a little colder than you might like, there are several advantages of swimming in winter, including flat seas, good visibility and no bluebottles. Perhaps the biggest advantage is that you can also qualify for a WINTER BADGE by swimming a minimum of 20 times between 1st June and 31st August. You must also swim in at least 7 different weeks. If you manage to do all of your qualifying swims without a wetsuit (or other thermal enhancing equipment) you will also qualify for the coveted WWW badge (Winter Without Wetsuit). Start now, and don’t forget to log your swims to qualify. If you don’t know how to log your swims, contact Ian (ugoboyo@gmail.com).
2. Bold & Beautiful x Red Demo Day
Red Paddle Co. will be showcasing their mens and womens Waterproof Changing Robes with a live demo at our 7 am swim on Saturday 1st June. These may be just what you need to get you through the winter and achieve your winter badge! So come along and check them out for yourself or head to the website (https://red-equipment.com.au/collections/womens-pro-change-robes-evo) .
