The rain threatened, but the crew delivered 🔥🔥

Another awesome morning at Talle Creek as our Salty swimmers tackled our two-station rotation, embraced the conditions and got the job done!

Different stations, different challenges, different speeds — but the same incredible salty spirit! 💙

A massive well done to everyone who showed up, got moving and made the most of another Wicked Wednesday 5.30 club!!

It’s not always blue skies and glassy water, but that's part of the adventure! It's about showing up, challenging yourself, backing your crew and starting the day the salty way.

HUGE shout-out to our amazing crew for making it all happen, rain or shine! 🫶

Seven weeks down, plenty of salty goodness still to come! Bring on next Wednesday! 🐬

Another great Wednesday, another great Salty session 🩵 Well done to you all for starting your day with us 👏 Big thanks to Dowks, who sets the course every week and always make it interesting. The drone footage of the box set looks so cool! From the beach, we could see how quickly the tide changed, making it tougher every time you swam towards the bridge and then swim the fast lane towards the ocean.
Thanks Dowks & Karla for coaching 💛💛 special mention to water safety Cody’s mum, who brings Cody or Jamie down to do water safety 🧡🧡 and Sarah helping me with admin and of course Dan for taking these great images from the sky. A butcher bird tried to get friendly with the drone just as Dan was bringing it home but thank goodness decided against it 😅
We will catch you again next week for Round 6 🩵

💥 How far can YOU swim (rectangular 500m course) in 25 minutes?

We’ll kick things off with an ability-group warm-up across the creek, before finishing with some FAST FINISHES to get the heart rate up!

Wicked Wednesday had everything today! Crisp air temp, dramatic skies, flowing incoming tide and beautiful clear water.

Then just as WW finished and the Junior Salty’s began, the sun finally came out ☀️

Well done to our coaching team Dowks, Karla & Piney 💛💛💛 and to our water safety of Cody, Jamie, Zander & Will who all did a fantastic job of helping our swimmers stay safe 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Beautiful drone photos of that dramatic sky and that beautiful ocean water by Dan, our cameraman. Please just give credit to DN Images if you share the memories. As Dan headed off to work the sun came out and thanks to Bree minding base camp, I was able to head over to the beach and take a few shots on my brand new camera 📸 Karla & the green caps were catching some decent waves 👏 before the traditional egg throwing games begun 😂

Thanks again to everyone who joined us this morning. Remember Wicked Wednesdays returns to the normal time of a 5.30am start next week.
