23.01.2022 Susan has been on an incredible journey... She is just one of the many people we have worked with to help change their relationship with the water from one of fear and in-trepidation to one of calm and enjoyment. If you are currently in a bad relationship with the water, contact Coach Peter. The swimming journey starts with a single relaxed stroke.

23.01.2022 And Ben’s thoughts the current water temps. 11.3C today

23.01.2022 Well what a morning it was for the 2nd Annual BOW 10km Marathon Time Trial swim this morning... We were blessed with reasonably good conditions and a beautiful ...water temp of 20C. 44 Swimmers took to the water and completed distances varying from 2.5 to 10km. 28 Swimmers tackled the 10km distance with many outstanding results.... Congratulations to Andrew Crozier who achieved the fastest 10km time of the day 2hrs 20mins.. Many swimmers achieved personal bests, either distance or times, so well done to them. For all those who qualified for the Rottnest Channel swim, WELL DONE, Mission accomplished. There were many smiling faces at the end. This event would not have been possible without the support of an amazing group of volunteers... Sue Jones, Susan Berg, Andrew Gurry, Anja Ahale and John Sammons (These are our Swim Group Sub Committee members who looked after the organising and food purchasing for today's swim) Rebecca McGann and Susan Brasch for looking after our Online Bookings Lara Blasse for organizing the Towels and Embroidery [With Xmas and New Year impacting we were not able to have the Event towels ready in time... WE WILL CONTACT ALL PERSONS WHO PURCHASED A QUALITY TOWEL and ensure that hey receive them once they arrive - I thank you for your patience with this - We will have spare of these, so people will be able to still purchase these after they have been deivered. ] PLUS HUGE thanks to our on day volunteers John Sammons (IRB Water Safety and Course Layout) Charlie Evans - Chief Jack of all trades Susan Stamp, Mathew Fenner, Andrew Snowdon and Hila Zaacks - Who paddled tirelessly for the whole day keeping everyone safe and sound and supported. Pip Grummet (Chief Feed Station Operator), ably supported by serial volunteers Andrew Gurry, Justine Malone Sally Catt Denise Clarke Chief Caterers - Charlie Evans Denise Clarke and supported by Richard Jones (I didn't get upstairs to see all who else may have helped here, so apologies if I have missed anyone) Chief Registrar and Time Data Manager Anja Ahale and also thanks to Anja for providing her awesome coffee machine that punched out a large number of coffees. Special thanks to Marathon Swimming Legend Melissa Roberts (Cunningham) for being our Official Starter and Time Keeper Support. (and general all round motivator) Thanks to the crew who swam as support Michelle A Fullerton Michael Gregory Peter Bardoel Brenda Norman (after completing her 10km swim). And to all those who helped clean the club to leave it as we found it - THANK YOU.. A very special Thank You to Sue Jones who has embraced her role as Chief Representative of the BOW Swim Group and who co-ordinated many groups to make this happen.

23.01.2022 One of these environments is SAFE and one is NOT. Can you guess which one? Choose wisely.... whilst we still can. A trip to your local supermarket puts you at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 than swimming in this chlorinated pool. (Aquastar is a Private Pool, not a Public Pool, so access is restricted) .... The virus cannot survive in chlorine! Maintain your training program, your health and your fitness. And your sanity. Eliminate risk by using a hand sanitizer after showering or simply bring along a robe and keep your skin chlorinated until you get home. Resist the hysteria and fear mongering. Rise above it and take the intelligent lead. And if the pool still has you worried then contact me, Peter or Charlie for details on our new Open Water Swimming Programs/Camps and/or our new exciting and exhilarating Adventure Swims. Whatever you decide. Swimwell - Feelwell - Staywell

06.01.2022 Not one swim toy, kick board, pull buoy, flippers, paddles or snorkel were harmed or even used in the making of this video. Just education on how to achieve Balance and Alignment in the water. Long way to go, but what a great start.

06.01.2022 We all find ourselves in dire & unprecedented times. Whats clear is this : COMPLIANCE WITH NEW COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS IS ESSENTIAL TO CONTAIN THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. Social distancing (maintaining a distance of 1.5m between yourself & others) is easily achieved in the open water, so enjoying your swim is not in question at this time. Shared bathroom facilities ARE a potential risk zone so we are suggesting swimmers bring an extra towel & robe to stay warm, & shower at home. Stay Safe, Stay Well, SwimWell
