Swim Low, Prepare High In Lake Argyle
Event manager Glenn Taylor provides one of the most unique forms of preparation in the open water swimming world for the First National Kimberly Lake Argyle Swim in Western Australia: helicopter rides. “Slingair Heliwork WA will be at Lake Argyle on May 3rd offering spectacular 10-minute scenic flights for the Swim, the impressive lake and its surrounds,” explains Taylor. “[You will] be blown away by the size of Lake Argyle and get a bird’s eye view of the dam wall. “
The Lake Argyle Swim race day special is $105 per person with a minimum of 4 people per flight.
