OCEAN Grove Surf Life Saving Club has joined forces with Geelong-based commercial radio station K rock 95.5 for the club’s first ocean open water swim festival.
The inaugural swim will be known as the ‘K rock’s Ocean Open Water Swim Festival’ after the popular FM radio station agreed to be naming rights sponsor.
The local swim will take place over the Australia Day long weekend on Sunday 29 January at the Ocean Grove SLSC.
Ocean Open Water Swim Festival ambassador Sam Sheppard, a six-time winner of the Pier to Pub in Lorne, is looking forward to the event.
“Let’s hope there is good weather and it is a great day on the beach at Ocean Grove,” he said.
Event categories include the 400m Junior Swim, 600m Novice Swim, 1.2km Classic Swim and the 2.5km Enduro Swim.
