What exactly is BeachFest? ⛱️

BeachFest is the ONLY official beach party of Leavers WA!

Held each year at Meelup Beach on the Wednesday of Leavers Week, this giant beach party is brought to you by Be A Mermate and Leavers WA with a simple mission to help you and your mates have an awesome day while staying safe around the water.

Expect DJs, food trucks, inflatable water activities, beach games and a quiet zone when you need to reset before heading back into the action ☀️🎶

‼️BeachFest is only open to four-day Leavers wristband holders.

“Lifejackets are in the boat.”

Anyone got theirs on, though? 🚤

It’s a fair question to ask before heading out. Put yours on before boarding and help your mates check theirs fit snugly and are properly fastened.

Looking out for each other includes speaking up about the small things.

Be a Mermate before you even leave the shore.

Imagine going from reeling one in to being the one caught overboard 🌊🎣

If a wave knocks you into the ocean, don’t waste energy thrashing around. Keep your lifejacket on, signal for help and get into the Heat Escape Lessening Position, also known as H.E.L.P.

This helps slow heat loss while your mates turn the boat around and come back for you.

At night, hazards are harder to spot and someone overboard can disappear from view fast. Before you leave, make sure everyone has a lifejacket on and knows the plan if things go sideways.

Remember, getting home safe is the real catch of the night 🫡

When the plans finally make it out of the group chat 🏊

Winter swimmer or absolutely not? Here are a few reasons to give the indoor pool a go:

✅ A full-body workout without the wet weather
✅ Quieter lanes and more space
✅ Time to catch up with a mate
✅ No pressure to be fast or super fit

Swim a few laps, join a squad, work on your skills or just move at your own pace. It’s an easy option when outdoor workouts sound terrible and motivation is nowhere to be found!

Grab your goggles and give it a go 🥽
