On occasional Saturdays, the group will meet for polar bear swimming at the Yallingup Lagoon which is followed by brunch at Lamont’s on Smiths Beach.
During summer the Busselton club meet at the jetty for swims along the coastline and weekly pool swims at the Geographe Leisure Centre.
“When people get together in a competition sense that’s when we get to know each other and have some fun,” he said.
