Coogee Island Ocean Swim 2.5km
Conditions excellent water temp 22C
Blustery South Westerly
Nice smooth conditions for the 1st 500m
Wind and chop behind the Island
Swim drill ability to bilateral breath definitely came into its own around the back of the Island.
If you could breath to the left you avoided most of the chop.
These type of conditions reenforce why drills are invaluable such as the 6 : 1 : 6 drill.
6 side kicks to the L then 1 stroke and rotate to the R followed by 6 side kicks.

Last day of summer
Bondi Bluewater Oceanswim
1 and 2km
Water Temp 23C
Southerly swell 1 to 2m
Choppy conditions into the swell
Swim technique keeping a 2 beat kick to help momentum and balance.
It is easy to forget to kick in such conditions and try to muscle through the chop.
A light kick adds balance and unloads the shoulders.

5km Murray Rose Malabar Magic Oceanswim
Great event with a fantastic cause.
Water Temp 21C
Light Breeze from South
Swell 1 to 2m out the back
Conditions allowed a nice glide into the catch and pull through to the hip.
The distance tested technique and ability to maintain a high elbow against fatigue.

North Bondi 2km Oceanswim
Conditions Strong Southerly swell
Water temperature 22C
Due to the swell the course was reduced to 1.6km
Challenging swim against large swell and chop.
Drill keeping head as low as possible when not sighting.
Making sure the pull through finished past the hip.
Big thanks to North Bondi Surf Club for safety.

5km Cole Classic Oceanswim Manly
Shelley Beach to Freshwater return
Conditions sublime
Water Temp 21C
Nice wave to negotiate at Manly at the finish.
Swim technique for distance swimming ability to sight effectively saves minutes off your time.
Every 10 strokes a quick look up and catching a breath to the side on the way down rather than holding.
