We are heading to Sydney for 6 days swimming in the ocean and harbour pools of this incredible city.
Bookings open at midday Wednesday 9th September. (Perth time)
Our last holiday sold out pretty quick so share this with your pals and get chatting.
You can find out more on our website.
There is down time and swim time. Time for the group thing and time for you. Walking time and swimming time and fabulously time to learn and absorb the history of all these magical places and the people that swam before us.

So fabulous today to have a mingle of mermaids from Busselton and Margaret River swimming together.
Some came because the class in busso was cancelled and some have recently been up to Busso to catch up with friends or because the days work better.
We don’t mind why it’s just lovely to share the Mermaid 💙
Thank you Liz, Dawn, Callie, Judy and Claudia for moving around and sharing your fabulousness.
Anyone can use their pass in any location in any session and in summer they can be used at the beach too.

Do you listen to your body as well as your coach when you swim?
If we say go hard for 50 metres and your body tells you it can only hold that for 25 cruise back on the second half.

That isn't giving up. That's listening to yourself, and you'll get far more out of the session for it.

We plan every session with your best swim in mind. But your body is the expert on your body. Trust it. Tell us what it needs. We'll work with you, always. 💙

Contratulations to this mega mermaid on your pink Swimming Women cap.
These are awarded for embracing the swimming women spirit and simply being awesome.
Not only is she ridiculously funny, kind and caring to her fellow lane mates AND a demon seamstress now she has turned a number that begins with not a 5 😜 she is swimming faster and faster.
When Claire joined us at the end of 2022 her best for 200 was 4.15. These days she is repeating 200m on 2 minutes. She is getting stronger and stronger showing consistency pays off. She has even learnt to kick and maybe doesn't hate it as much as she used to!
Claire also makes the best prizes for our Ocean Swim each year and has even made a cover for the Swimming Women cage. Thank you Claire for being such a fab mermaid. Pink suits you.

Someone new has joined our little mermaid world and we couldn't be more excited. She can't run. She won't run. But she'll swim anywhere you point her. Meet Katie (properly in our latest newsletter.)

Katie used to be a state level swimmer and like many of us, stopped when she was younger . Returning to the water as an adult, Swimming and Swimming Women has helped her find her inner mermaid. She is super excited to share this with our swimmers helping them intern find their happy place🐚.

What would you like to know about Katie or ask her. Let me know below and I will grill her on Saturday.
