Swim With SSG

Join the Suttons Swim Group (SSG) for invigorating ocean swims along our beautiful Suttons Beach! Whether you’re a seasoned swimmer or a newbie, our public and members-only swims offer a welcoming community experience.

Swim Requirements

To swim with SSG, you need to be able to swim 300 meters without stopping. Don’t worry if you’re looking to improve - our qualified swim coaches are here to help! To connect with a coach, email us at suttonsswimgroup@gmail.com.

Swim Schedule

SSG offers regular swims to suit different schedules:

Fridays (Public): At sunrise (times vary, check our Facebook page for updates). Arrive 15 - 20 minutes early for introductions, a swim briefing, and the group photo. Note: No Swim Captain on Fridays, so if you’re new or need support, try Sunday.
Sundays (Public): 7:00 AM year-round, ideal for first-timers. A Swim Captain is on hand to welcome and support new swimmers. Arrive 15 - 20 minutes early for a friendly welcome, briefing, and group photo.
Wednesdays (Members-only): At sunrise. Contact us or check our Facebook page for details.

Non-members are welcome at public swims - we kindly ask for a gold coin donation to support the club.

What to Bring

Bare minimum:

Something to swim in
A pair of goggles
A towel (or you can drip dry 😉)

Optional items:

Swim cap
Tow float/swim buoy
Wetsuit (triathlon style, not a surfing wetsuit, recommended in colder months - email suttonsswimgroup@gmail.com for guidance)

Oh, and bring a sense of adventure!

Safety First

Ocean swimming comes with risks like deep water, tides, weather, marine life, and boats. At SSG, safety is our top priority. We follow two key rules:

Have a plan and stick to it.
Never swim alone.

We use tow floats to boost visibility in the water, and for longer swims, a kayaker accompanies the group. Our preparation and planning ensure a safe, enjoyable experience.
