Hello Spring! 🌼
Here's our updated September Schedule for ocean swims.

Join us for a morning swim kickstart the day, or an evening swim to relax and unwind. One thing's for sure, our swimmers know how to bring the vibes!

To join the swims, you need to be comfortable swimming a mile in the ocean (1.6km) and have recent cold water experience.

Members enjoy unlimited weekly group swims and access to the Glen Country Club facilities.
Guests can join for select swims on a pre-bookings basis.

Visit "View & Book Upcoming Swims" in our bio to see the available swims for the week, or DM us for membership options.

We can't wait for you to join us!

I had the privilege of sitting down with one of our powerhouse members Calli Swims, who shared her recent experience of swimming the iconic English Channel.

From a 3am wake up and thunderstorms as she entered the water, to a soul-testing end to the swim, Calli showed courage and tenacity from start to finish.

One of my favourite things is hearing about the journey that swimmers experience leading up to a goal swim, as this is almost always where the magic happens.

Yes - it's great to achieve the goal - but it's the person that you become along the way, and the people that you share the experience with that truly matters.

What an incredible sunrise at Fish Hoek this morning.

Lucky to witness this natural beauty before hopping into the ocean for a team swim!
