Well done to our incredible crew of Devils and Polar Bears who made the trip to Coles Bay to take on the “Devil of a Swim”! 💪🌊

Whether it was the 5k, 2k or 1k, every one of you showed grit, determination and that signature wild spirit. Spectacular conditions, an even better community, and some seriously impressive swims all round.

Huge thanks to the water safety crew for keeping a watchful eye and all volunteers for making the swim happen.

What a way to wrap up the season at the Beach2Beach swim in Kingston! ❄️🌊

Greg made the journey with his support crew to take on the 5km — with snow on the mountains and icy winds, it was no easy feat. But that didn’t stop him from pushing through and placing in his age group!

The final TOSS series swim for the season couldn’t have ended better. Massive effort, Greg — it’s been awesome watching your ocean swimming skills grow this season and seeing you inspire others to get out there and brave the open water. 💪

Way to finish strong!

Huge thanks to all the volunteers and swimmers for supporting the Tassie open water events.

Making the absolute most of those last golden weeks of warm weather ☀️

A brave crew of salty legends took on the swim from the Bluff to Sawdust Bridge — what an adventuresome swim during that late-summer magic we all love.

Some tackled the full 5km, while others jumped in along the way from Coles Beach or the Don River mouth — everyone finding their own challenge and soaking up the ocean.

These are the swims that stay with you. Big effort 💙 🌊

What a glorious day for our final outdoor pool session! The conditions couldn’t have been better ☀️

In true tradition, the Devils took on the challenge of 100 x 100s. As a club, we clocked up an incredible 72km in total — an amazing effort!

Everyone gave it their all, tracking the kilometres as much as life (and the body!) allowed. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up and made it such a special morning.

Hope you’re not too sore… and we’ll see you all back indoors soon 💙

🏆 Masters Point Champion 2025 🏆

A big congratulations to our 2025 Masters Point Champion – Lucy Cochran!

Lucy accumulated an impressive 3,322 points throughout the season by competing in Masters swimming events across the year. Her consistency, commitment, and willingness to race across multiple meets made her a very deserving winner.

Points are calculated based on performances relative to age group standards, which ensures the system is fair and comparable across different ages and events. This means every swim counts, and swimmers of all ages have an equal opportunity to compete for the title.

Lucy was closely followed by Nina and Rick, making it a tight competition right through the season!

Well done Lucy on an outstanding year of racing and representing the club.
