I'd like to give Louise Lambeth and the other ocean swimmers, volunteer support crew and supporters so many thanks for this incredible fete; swimming from Ocean Beach, across Lion Island to Palm Beach. You are all amazing, the swimmers have trained hard and Louise has worked tirelessly; we are blessed as a family to be the subject of your efforts. The day could not have been more perfect, and you have created fabulous memories for my children x
The fabulous memory stone was supplied by Lois Young.

Hi All
The campaign has been extended into June as the wonderful Coastal Boot Scooters located at Ettalong are having a fundraising social to help raise funds for Kate and the Kids. I wonder if we can get some of the swimmers in line........ boots and all! Stay tuned.

Looking very favourable for the swim on Sunday - swell is over a meter lower than last Sunday and not much wind! We will also have sunshine!!! Some of the swim team and Ocean Beach Life Savers will be out and about on Saturday to promote the swim ..... you will find us at Woy Woy's Deep Water Plaza between 9 and 2pm and we should also be at the Peninsula Leisure Centre between 8am and 11am. Come and say hi and wish us well!

The Big Swim 4 Dave has swim has been postponed to next Sunday 6/5. Consultations with OBSLSC and Marine Rescue Central Coast have determined that the ocean conditions are too rough especially for the relay swimmers who would be required to enter and exit the launch in rough swells. Low visibility in the water is also a concern. The plus side is that next Sunday is looking good weather and conditions! An extra week for fundraising will be helpful. Share this page to help us reach more people.
