An informal group of southern Hobart swimmers who have been meeting to swim Kingston Beach and surrounds since the beginning of 2009.
We meet almost every Saturday morning at 7.30am opposite the public amenities block (mid beach) on Osborne Esplanade. Occasionally we're doing an adventure swim at another location but there's still likely to be some swimmers at Kingston.
There are sub-groups that swim on other days and times at Kingston, Hinsby and Blackmans Bay but we recommend that you come along on Saturday first to connect with those groups.
Visitors, dual citizens from other groups and occasional dippers are most welcome.
* We are a swim at your own risk group *
No fees or costs.
