PodSquad
North Cottesloe

We ocean
swim

PodSquad is a friendly crew of like-minded people who swim at North Cottesloe every day of the year.

Everyone’s welcome — whether you’re new to ocean swimming or have been doing it for years. Even better — it’s free!

Just wander down to the wooden benches under the PodSquad sign on the ocean side of the North Cottesloe Surf Club where you’ll see us all getting ready.

The group swims every day from North Cott to the Cottesloe groyne and back — a distance of 2km. If you’re new to ocean swimming, fins are a great option to help you stay comfortably with the group.

After three swims, you’ll be presented with your own coveted PodSquad cap. So if you’ve ever wondered who’s wearing the white caps out there, now you know!

Once we’re out of the water, we wander up to Little SUP for coffee and great conversation — a truly wonderful way to start the day.

POD PEOPLE

This is an informal swim — there’s no water safety on hand, so everyone swims at their own risk. Please only swim in conditions in which you feel capable and confident.

Remember: Your swim, your choice.
