“There’s something about the water for me. It’s my happy place.”

After decades of swimming, surf lifesaving, triathlon, coaching and research, Professor Peter Reaburn still finds joy in simply being in the water.

Perhaps that’s something many open water swimmers can relate to.

🎙️ New Episode | Sam Moore: Community, Inclusion and the GeoBay Swim

Over the past year, a number of guests on the podcast have mentioned the GeoBay Swim as an important event on the WA open water swimming calendar.

In this episode, I sit down with Sam Moore to explore the story behind the swim, from an idea that emerged during Ironman WA training sessions to a sold-out event that has become known for its focus on community, inclusion and participation.

We discuss:
🏊 The origins of the GeoBay Swim
🏊 The influence of Mick Bray and the local swimming community
🏊 Why the event doesn’t require support boats
🏊 The beach party concept and stopping the clock
🏊 Wetsuits, accessibility and reducing barriers to participation
🏊 GeoBay’s role as a pathway towards longer open water swims

What I really enjoyed about this conversation was exploring how the event has been intentionally designed to make long-distance open water swimming more accessible, without losing the challenge or sense of achievement that comes from covering 20 kilometres in the ocean.
