Last week we had the privilege of visiting the Turtle Conservation Centre. To witness the incredible care they provide in rehabilitating turtles that get stranded along the shores of the Cape Peninsula year after year, getting them back to full health and strength before releasing them back into the wild was remarkable. And the passion that our guide Talitha showed was truly inspirational! We even got to meet Loggerhead turtle Kai who was being released the following day after a 6-year rehabilitation journey.
Thank you for the amazing work that you do!

Meet Gary, a member with the most generous heart. If he isnβt keeping a watchful eye on fellow swimmers in the water, Gary is chatting up a storm in the parking lot β plotting his next adventure or offering business advice to younger swimmers.
