Morning Ocean Swimmers and Coffee Crew

Morning Ocean Swimmers and Coffee Crew is exactly what it sounds like. We meet early, we get in the water, and afterwards we get coffee and complain cheerfully about how cold it was. The swims are social rather than competitive, and we stick to sheltered spots where everyone can find a depth and a distance they are comfortable with. If you are newer to open water we will happily keep you company at the back and talk you through the difference between pool swimming and dealing with a bit of chop.

Regulars will tell you the best part is not really the swim, it is the fact that you have already done something good before the day properly starts. We swap notes on conditions, water temperature, gear like caps and buoys, and which beaches are worth the drive when the swell is up. Come along once and see how you go. Bring a towel, something warm to change into, and a bit of patience with yourself on the first few mornings.
