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.
