What an awesome race to complete this years series. I can’t wait to see the results for the overall winner of the club trophy. Currently the Hervey Bay Humpbacks hold it but we’ll soon find out who gets it for their pool room for 2024. Well done to all competitors, you can be so proud of yourself for getting out there and racing in our beautiful bay. 🙌🏻

There has been some confusion over the rules for the Club point score for the Bean Beat Series. So, here they are:
1: you'll need to register for the Series by the completion of the Junction Swim;
2: complete at least 2 of the 3 swims (not all 3) for your points to be counted towards the club point score; and
3: all points that an individual is awarded for each swim, including, participation, overall & age group points will also be counted towards the club point score.
NOTE - to be eligible for the individual series prizes, you must complete all 3 events.

17/08/2024

Registrations for the Bean Beat Ocean Series have been extended out to the 6 October (after completion of the Junction Swim). Also, in addition to the major cash prizes for the top 3 male & female participants, there will also be consolation prizes to be randomly drawn out at the Presentation Event at the Bean Beat Cafe on Sat 30 November. IT'S FREE TO REGISTER AND FORMS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR COMPLETION AT THE REGISTRATION DESKS FOR THE PIER 2 PUB AND JUNCTION SWIMS OR MESSAGE US WITH THESE DETAILS: NAME,; DOB; MOBILE # & CLUB.

Hey guys, just an outline of the swimwear rules for participants in the Bean Beat Crown Ocean Series. We understand that each of the 3 associated events may have slightly different rules, so, in the interests of fairness across the board, we have clarified what we believe to be appropriate for a "swim series". We hope that all our participants embrace these rules in each event that they swim.
