The nearly sold-out OceanFit wild swimming camp will be held on March 24th-26th at the Killalea State Park, south of Sydney, Australia.

“The long-weekend wild swimming camp has it all; ocean swimming training and ocean swims, a swim into and down a river, a lake swim and rest and relaxation swims in scenic coastal coves,” describes Andre Slade.

There are ocean training and training in the pool for early morning fitness and skill development.

“This camp isn’t for the city princess. We’ll be roughing it in shared bunk-room accommodation, eating camp food, and sitting around the campfire under the stars. Leave the city, break away from the grind of the day-to-day and switch off the technology as our experienced instructors take you on a journey you’ll never forget.”
