Claire Scheib
John Holt
Claire was encouraged to learn to swim the freestyle stroke less than two months ago. Saturday April 13, she completed the 2km ocean swim. This she has accomplished in less than 8 weeks since learning to do freestyle.
John back in 2017 graduated from the ‘learn to swim’ group that ventured to sooky corner and was not confident out among the waves. Now he rows a surf boat and in 2019 completed the 2km ocean swim.
