If you like ocean swimming and holidays that mix activity and relaxation, then this is for you. Board the Solway Lass, a 1902 survivor tall ship with the most amazing history. We had a fabulous time with a fun and super helpful and professional crew. André and Louise from Oceanfit were great and ensured everything went like clockwork. I highly recommend this trip. Super experience! Sieger.

We had a fantastic trip with Andre and the crew. Loved the swims, the beach sunsets and the short hikes. Amazing place.

Sail on a Tall Ship, bunk up and dive in the deep end of the Whitsundays.
Sleep under the stars, eat, swim, eat, swim, eat, share stories over a dinner and wine, repeat.

The Whitsundays tour was Amazing- swimming, snorkeling and sailing. Loved it all. Gained confidence to swim in the ocean.

Just finished the swim the Whitsundays trip. Such an awesome experience - great mix of swimming and relaxing time on the beautiful Solway Lass. Andre and Louise provided great support before and during the swims and the crew provided us with some great laughs as we sailed around the islands. Highly recommended for advanced or beginner ocean swimmers!

Andre delivered on what was promised. Good service, swimming was beautiful, each swim different to the next. Both the crew of the boat and the Ocean Fit team did all they could to make it an experience to remember and do again. Highly reccommend

Recently returned from Swim the Whitsundays with Andre and the crew from Oceanfit. Breathtaking experience. Loved every minute. The Solway Lass was a great onboard experience as well. Fantastic.

We did the swim the Whitsundays cruise adventure.

Great variety of swims and swim locations no matter the conditions, friendly and very communicative on what is happening, great feedback on swim styles, overall a great adventure would recommend to anyone that wants to improve their open water swimming.

Is also great for partners that are not good Swimmers, with snorkeling options or other activities

What a fabulous clinic. Andre is a great teacher and Issy a great support person in the water! I finished the clinic feeling confident about being able to understand a surf report and assess the conditions before entering the water. I loved the new skills I learned in the water and now feel confident to not only get under sets of waves but also to swim back to the beach through the waves which has always worried me in the past. Thank you so much. I plan to practice and come back for the next level clinic next summer!

Andres introduction into Ocean Swimming clinic was excellent. Being a regular ocean swimmer, for the past 9 months, I felt the need to better understand how to read the ocean, and have a greater depth of knowledge of wave action, how conditions are created and how to negotiate different conditions. All of this information and more was communicated and explained clearly. Additionally Andre reiforced the necessity of fitness and strong swimming skills, something I am working on. Looking forward to the next course and making use of the resources Andre provides on his website.

Great way to improve our knowledge of the ocean and learn new skills for tackling an ocean swim. Took my teenage sons along and they thought it was great too. Thanks

I participated in Jan 30,2021, clinic and I wish I had done this years ago!
The first part of the course includes a crucial discussion on certain aspects of ocean swimming, so arrive on time if you want to get the best outcome.

In this part, Andre elaborately explained the various aspects of ocean swimming - from reading surf report to negotiating waves, keeping a strong emphasis on safety. The next part was the practical bit, in the ocean, where Andre and Kristy taught different swimming techniques and showed how ocean swimming was different from regular pool swimming.

We were very lucky to have great conditions. It was my first proper ocean swim after years of mucking around in waves.

Perhaps this course could even be made mandatory for migrants and tourists who might have little or no experience in ocean swimming. It could save a few lives while promoting our beaches as well.

Highly recommended!

A fantastic morning learning how to navigate the surf as a swimmer. A great mix of theory on the beach and practical application out in the ocean. And a small enough group that you get the attention you need to improve your techniques. Andre and Jules were great. Highly recommend!

I set myself a goal of competing in an ocean swim and signed up for the Oceanfit 'Learn to Ocean Swim' clinic as a first step. The session was perfect for identifying what I need to work on and where I was reasonable competent already. It was a mix of theory and practical and we were lucky to get a perfect day for it. If you feel the cold I recommend wearing and wetsuit and wear warm clothes for the practical component! Definitely motivated me to pursue ocean swimming.

Andre was very knowledgeable and so interesting. Well worth doing this clinic. Jules was a great support, thank you for an awesome morning.

I am from Sydney and been to the beach my whole life but never really had a great understanding of the surf/tides and impact if weather,
Just had the best introduction to Ocean fit today with Andre at Bondi and after enrolling in the Ocean Confidence clinic.
It was relaxed, informative, supportive, practical, safe and most of all fun.
A Small group which was great and could really focus on the tips and information.
Would highly recommend this- I learnt a great deal in a few hours and will definitely follow up with the next clinic
Thanks Andre- great job.

Excellent ocean swim clinic. I’ve participated regularly in the ocean (and in ocean swim events) for a few years now, and I still learned so many new things from this clinic, including how to read a surf report, negotiate waves, how to identify rips and use them to my advantage, and proper diving and sighting techniques for open water swimming. The combination of theory, instruction and the opportunity to get out there in the beautiful ocean and put the skills into practice was amazing. The small size of the group meant that we all had a lot of personalised input from Andre, whose instruction was second to none. It was such a fun, worthwhile clinic and I recommend it 100%. Thanks Andre!

The learn to ocean swim session with Andre was amazing. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and did everything to ensure everyone was comfortable and safe. I recommend this to anyone wanting to start their journey as an ocean swimmer. I look forward to doing some of the other OceanFit clinics and to join the Ocean Fit sessions. Thanks Andre!

Great program! Easy to understand and really helpful info about ocean swimming in the Learn to Ocean Swim clinic today, thanks!

I'm a pool swimmer who was terrified of the ocean - until doing a Learn to Ocean Swim clinic with Andre. Very pleased with this class, it's opened up a whole new world for me.
