Bilgola SLSC's 2019 Ocean Swim: the blackmore's Billy Swim
Blackmores Billy Swim 2019
Sunday January 13, 2019: Bilgola Beach
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all of the volunteers that turned up to Register, do Water Safety, Cook, Crew IRBs, Timekeep, put up marquees and every other job that made the 2019 Swim such a great success. Despite a roaring Southerly every part of the Swim ran impeccably (despite the Timekeeping troubles) and reflected the spirit and depth of our Club. It made me proud to watch the Club work as one to create such a great event – I cannot praise every volunteer highly enough.
Thank you everyone.
Thank you also to our many sponsors including Blackmores, Northern Beaches Council, Adrenalin, DMC Fins, Harris Farm Markets and Back to Health Physio Newport as well as the wonderful support from Northern Beaches SLS, our neighbouring SLS clubs of Newport, Avalon and Whale Beach and The Ripper Group for the UAV.
