My Challenge is to Swim Albert Park to St Kilda EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024

bg my challenge

My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

the distance, open water, and daily commitment are daunting, but I’m pushing through the physical and mental strain to support this important cause.

My Updates

DAY 9 UPDATE

Monday 28th Oct
10 degree weather this morning and the bag felt like an ice bath! Coldest swim of the challenge and was a real “get comfortable being uncomfortable” moment! Conditions not as nice as yesterday as the waves and wind made for tough swimming! One day to go!!!

DAY 8 UPDATE

Sunday 27th Oct
Despite being a little dusty from going to a gig the night before. I got up at 9am and got back to business. With the help of calm waters, no wind and swimming with the current, I completed my swim in 40 minutes, finishing around 10 minutes earlier than previous days! Water was very cold this morning, but was very clear, could see fish looking at me wondering what I was doing 😂 Also saw two dolphins playing in the bay!

DAY 7 UPDATE

Sunday 27th Oct
SMASHED IT! 🏊🏻

DAY 6 UPDATE

Friday 25th Oct
Another waaavey day! Went at 4pm today, the sun was shining but winds were strong again. Made for some difficult swimming but got the job done!

DAY 5 UPDATE

Thursday 24th Oct
We reached the halfway point of the challenge today, swimming against some pretty strong south westerly’s that really smashed me around a bit, but pushed through! Fingers crossed for some calmer seas over the next few days! Thanks again for the ongoing support and donations! I’m blown away! 🐳

DAY 4 UPDATE

Wednesday 23rd Oct
With the disappointment of missing out last night, I bounced out of bed at 5:45am to get to the beach! It was a calm morning and the water was still warm from yesterday, so perfect conditions for swimming! 🏊🏻 It was a great way to start the day I’ll definitely include a few more early morning swims into the challenge.

DAY 3 UPDATE

Tuesday 22nd Oct
Today's swim started with great promise—30 degrees during the day, no wind, and perfect conditions. Unfortunately, in classic Melbourne style, that didn’t last long. By the time I arrived at the beach after work, it looked more like Bells Beach than Albert Park. With my safety at risk, I made the decision to head back to MSAC to complete the swim. Here's hoping the coming days will be a bit calmer, and I can get back in the Bay!

DAY 2 UPDATE

Monday 21st Oct
After completing Day 1 in the pool, I woke up to an EPA report saying I was good to get in the water 🥳 🌊 We got uncomfortable today and swam against the current, all while fighting off kite surfers, jet skis, and the waves that come with them. Overall, I’m feeling really strong in the water and can’t wait for the 28-degree weather on Day 3! A huge thank you to everyone who has already helped me smash my $1000 donation target! Let’s see how much more we can raise for this amazing cause.

DAY 1 UPDATE

Sunday 20th Oct
Thanks to the recent storms in Melbourne turning the Bay into a soup of brown water, I had to make a change of plans and hit up MSAC today. Managed to knock out a 2km swim in just over an hour—feeling strong! Fingers crossed the Bay clears up soon so I can get back to my outdoor watery adventures. Appreciate all the support as I keep swimming for this amazing cause!
