What a morning at Lake Barrine! 🏊‍♀️

A small but mighty group of Swimfitters joined the Cairns Clams for an awesome open water swim today. A massive thanks to the Clams for putting together such a great event! 🫶

Brad, Lucy, and Jo cruised through the 1.5km course like pros, while Grant and I took on the 3km swim.

Always a great way to spend a Sunday morning — good vibes, smooth water, and even better company!

And a special thanks to Bridget, Amanda, Greg and Albie for cheering us on 🤩

🎄 Swimfit Festive Season Break 🎄

Hi Swimfitters! Just a quick update as we head into the holidays. Swimfit will be taking a little break from 23 December to 5 January due to the Mossman Pool’s limited opening hours during this time.

Here’s the good news:
✔️ Private sessions booked at the Mirage Country Club will still go ahead as planned.
✔️ You can find online Swimfit sessions to keep you swimming and feeling great over the break!

It’s not what I hoped for, but we’ll make the most of it and come back stronger in the new year!

Check out the Mossman Pool page for the opening hours over the next 2 weeks.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a fabulous start to 2025! 🎉

Thank you for an incredible year—can’t wait to see you back in the pool, ready to smash some goals. 🏊‍♀️💪

Great day in the pool today! 🏊‍♀️🏅

We got second in the 4 x 50 mixed medley relay 🤩

A few PB shattered, awesome first time times set and lots of medals for all.

My highlights were Lucy absolutely crushing the 200IM, and Grant swimming an awesome time for his first 100 Freestyle in a race but just a second slower than my time. That’s true love 😍😅🤣

Bring on day 2!

Massive thanks to and for organising the event, and of course all the volunteers for helping out 💕

Look at that sunrise! 🤩 That’s what you get for waking up early for a swim on the coldest morning in winter 😍

It got down to 10 degrees! 🥶 The pool water actually felt warm compared to the cold air 😅

Well done for everyone who got up out of their warm bed and made it for a swim 🙌

Why are you struggling to breathe while swimming? 💦

The most popular blog on my website is by far this one about breathing while swimming.

The thing we do all day every day without even thinking about, causes so much frustration for so many people new to swimming.

Luckily there are few simple things you can do to make it all a lot easier 😅
