Ben Buckler to Boot Enduro Swim
Every year I set the goal of a big swim challenge.
Due to Covid and the recent lockdown, I have set this year's challenge in my own 'backyard', Bondi Beach.
The Ben Buckler to The Boot Enduro swim is my attempt to break the current record of 60 laps swimming of Bondi.
Set up as an 800m line from North Bondi to South Bondi will count as one lap.
My aim is 62 laps maybe more!!
I have always used my big swims as Fundraisers for RUOK.
Having the experience of losing one of my swimming mentors when I was young, drives me to swim as far and as long as I need and can.
My swims are done to raise as much awareness in my community for suicide prevention, nothing hurts more than losing someone close to you.
I have decided to fundraise for R U OK? to help spread their message and help prevent suicide.
I would love people to join me in this adventure.
With the support of North Bondi Surf Club these are the guidelines:
- On the day there will be times allocated from 7am to 3pm (1hr max. - how many laps can you swim?).
- There will be a limited amount of swimmers allowed on the course at the one time (max. 20).
- If you wish to swim - there will be a minimum donation of $50.
- This donation will include a commemorative swim cap and face mask that can be picked up at registration check-in (Nth Bondi Boat Ramp) on the day.
- For Example: [ John Smith donates $100 - 8am to 9am]
- I will be swimming for 10hrs + so there will be plenty of timeslots available- all day!!
Please note: all swimmers must be double vaxxed to participate as the date is before December 1st (minimum age. 15 years)
