25.01.2022 30+ club members attended the pre-swim water safety meeting. At this stage the swim is still on. A review will be completed by 7:00 am... A post will be made as soon as the decision is made.

24.01.2022 Get in the swim of things this sunday with the return of the "Big Swim of the South". Entries are open until the end of the week. Visit www.stanwellparkoceanswim.com.au for more details.

22.01.2022 An email has recently been sent out to everyone who had entered the event on-line. STANWELL PARK OCEAN CHALLENGE... Hi Ocean Swimmer, Thanks for entering the Stanwell Park Ocean Challenge, which was postponed last Sunday, March 17. And please accept our apologies for not getting back to you earlier regarding future arrangements for this swim. Were travelling at the moment (in New Zealand with a peloton of oceanswimsafarists) so our routines have been disrupted. At the time of postponement last Sunday, organisers had hoped to be able to arrange a new date later this season. That has not been possible, however, due to various logistical issues. So they have instead decided to postpone to the earlier part of next season, with the regular occasion of the event taking place in March. That means, the Stanwell Park Ocean Challenge will run twice in season 2019/20. As an online entrant for last Sunday, your entry will roll-over automatically to the postponement date of Sunday, December 8. If you would prefer to roll-over to the later date, Sunday, March 15, then you have a window of month to let us know. Otherwise, your entry will be included for the December date. Its good to see this swim back after an hiatus of several years. Were looking forward to doing it. Not for nothing do the organisers refer to it as The Big Swim of the South. If you have any queries, or you wish to roll-over to March rather than December, please give us a yell... [email protected] Best wishes, and see you on the beach, Paul
