"I really enjoy swimming for both its physical and mental health benefits. It also is a way to clear my head at the end of the day and get in a rhythm."

Alannah

Honestly such a great cause. Stoked we stumbled across it. It was great for us too, to be honest. It united the team nicely and got us working toward a common goal. Lots of swim sessions and lots of chatter about the cause etc during shifts. 

 
Looking forward to getting that number one spot next year! ha ha
