The Fremantle Shivering Shags, a local Open Water Swimming club in Perth, is delighted to invite all interested players to our upcoming Open Water Swimming event. So grab your swimming gear and get ready for an exciting and refreshing experience!
Taking place at Beatty Park, the Beatty Park Bears meet weekly on Thursdays, starting from the first Thursday after Easter and continuing until the first week of October each year. We understand that timing is important, so please note that our swim program kicks off at 12 noon sharp.
Our swim races include timed handicap races over various distances, specifically 50, 100, 200, and 400 meters. To make things interesting, we alternate between 100m and 50m races on one day, and 200m and 50m races on another day, rotating weekly. This makes for a varied and challenging swimming experience that caters to swimmers of different abilities and preferences.
Once the swim is over, the fun doesn't stop. We encourage all participants to gather at the pool café for a delightful cup of coffee. It's a fantastic opportunity to unwind, socialise, and share stories with fellow swimmers who share your passion for Open Water Swimming.
To spice things up even further, every first Thursday of the month, we organise a special 400m swim followed by a lunch outing. You can choose to enjoy a delicious meal at the pool café or join us at a local pub for a post-swim feast. It's a incredible way to celebrate your achievements and foster a sense of camaraderie within the club.
At the Beatty Park Bears, we believe in recognising and rewarding our swimmers' dedication and achievements. Therefore, we operate a points-based system, where swimmers receive points on a 10 to 1 basis for each swim. At the end of each month, we crown a monthly winner who receives an embroidered towel as a token of their accomplishment.
Currently, the Beatty Park Bears have a wonderful membership consisting of approximately 35 swimmers. We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive and supportive environment that encourages swimmers of all levels to join us.
So, if you're passionate about Open Water Swimming and want to be part of a vibrant and friendly community, the Fremantle Shivering Shags at Beatty Park Bears is the perfect club for you! Join us for our upcoming Open Water Swimming event, and let's dive into a season filled with joy, growth, and unforgettable memories.
