Ocean Breakfast Club

Ocean Swim Session + White Elephant Breakfast & Coffee = Monthly Breakfast Club Swim

Everyone* is welcome to come together, swim together and enjoy food together sharing a love of swimming.  Enjoy an ocean swim class with breakfast and coffee at the White Elephant included whilst celebrating the beauty of swimming in the ocean.

You may be visiting the region, live locally or be a regular mermaid or merman, as long as you can swim in the open water and tolerate the water temperature you are welcome. Bring your family, your friends or come alone, you won’t be without friends for long.

We will begin each session with introductions, to each other, to the weather, surf and safety conditions, and to your breakfast choices. The post swim breakfast, cuppa and chatter is just as important after all!  Following a dry land warm up you will enjoy a coached open water swim class, for 45-60 minutes guaranteed to get your heart rate up.

The class will be run around a course marked by buoys in the ocean, this means speed is not important but a sense of fun is, you can swim at your own speed. Sessions will be conducted close to shore. Water safety will be provided.

You and your sense of fun

Your bathers, goggles swim caps (wearing 2 will keep you warmer)

Warm clothes for pre and post swim

Neoprene of choice, or you can hire a wetsuit for the morning from us for $10 text 0447698822 for details.

Extra layers beanie, gloves etc for keeping warm post swim

Top tip: wrap a hot water bottle around your towel as you swim or fill a milk bottle with hot water for a slightly warmer shower once you finish.

Changing rooms and cold showers are available at the White Elephant

* We want everyone to feel welcome and safe during this class and ask that you ensure you are capable of swimming 400m in the ocean without stopping and have suitable swim gear to stay warm in 16 degree water temperature. As faster swimmers will be alongside slower swimmers we request that all swimmers take care to avoid collisions, particularly around the buoys and look out for each other. This class is for fun, fitness and friendship; not cattle stations or the Olympics.

If the weather is deemed too dangerous the class will be cancelled and money will be refunded or can be held in credit for a future Breakfast Club Swim.
