Bargara's Winter Solstice celebrates this ancient tradition, on the shortest day of the year, with a distinctive point of difference - a chilly ocean swim with 2 iconic Australian swimmers Shelly Pearson and Lynton Mortensen. A rememberable and fabulous free social swim for all Ocean Swimmers...
Be in it & Join us... Just for your Enjoyment.
Lynton Mortensen is an Australian internationally recognised marathon swimmer who became a Hall of Famer 2024. Lynton then turned to indulging himself in ice cold endurance ocean swimming - recently returning from a 1km Pole swim in Antartica. Lyton is visiting Bargara to support our 2024 Winter Solstice social ocean swim to swim with the ocean swimmers then give a talk about his epic ocean swimming.
Lynton will explain why and how the hot trend of Cold water swimming, can boost energy, immunity and mental health. Even a non ocean swimmer would likely find meeting Lynton and hearing his story a wonderful opportunity.
Bargara's June's Ocean temp about 17/18 degrees.
Wetsuits and fins all good...but for the toughened swimmer you may not want either.
Winter Solstice Spirit...
To ignite the Winter Solstice celebration spirit wear warm interesting hats & scarves like the Wild Scottish Ocean Swimmers - it will be chilly 🥶...or Nordic style Winter Solstice costume
Bundaberg Outrigger Canoes ... also on the ocean along side the ocean swimmers + SUBs
This is a free social ocean swim in the open ocean along Bargara's coastline at your own assessment of risks.
