Today’s ocean swim was a tough one!
Got dumped, lost my goggles .
Thanks to our amazing coach Sam and Newport Beach SLSC and the surf safety team- Bec, Brendo, Zoe and Lucy we made it ?
Amy my goggles were found. 
Till next time 
Have a good week ahead.


Pool swims so far increasing our each week training:
Week 1 -  skills in pool and ocean
Week 2 - drills and duck dives repeat at ocean swim
Week 3 drills and  1300 
Extra training session week 3 850m swim
At ocean swim - 
1.53 km  Sunday 23 November

Sundays training was identifying rips at Newport and swimming into it and out of it. Tough swim but we made it!

So maybe I need to change my swim target swim to 2.5km? What do you think?
 

I’m doing 'CanToo Ocean Swim'!

Monday 17th Nov

Yep! I’m training with the Terry Hills/Newport Pod - my goal = 1k ocean swim at the end of January 2026.

My fundraising goal - $1200.00. If you can spare a donation (tax deductible) to this great  cause I’d be so very grateful.

I’ve discovered I’m also pretty bad at fundraising. If not, no hard feelings — just send me good vibes and cheer me on from wherever you are.

Thanks for being part of the journey with me.

Thank you to everyone who has made a donation towards my goal
