Devonport Devils Masters Swimming Club.

It’s not too late for a snag, onion, bread and sauce on this glorious Saturday afternoon!

Our crews have been busy!

Big thank you to Bunnings Warehouse Australia, Harvest Moon, Coca-Cola and all our volunteers!

What’s on our mind, a yummy sausage from our Devonport Bunnings Warehouse Australia BBQ, along with some yummy Harvest Moon onions and a cold Coca-Cola!

The first crew is ready for kick-of, the sizzle of snags is on the BBQ!

What a way to farewell winter!

Greg, Dave & Nina had the opportunity to represent the Devonport Devils at the Masters Swimming Tasmania Strategic Planning Workshop 2030.

It was a productive day with representatives from clubs across the state coming together to discuss the future of Masters Swimming in Tasmania.

How do our members benefit from being a Master Swimming Tasmania Swim Club?

• Coaching support for our coaches and
• coach accreditation pathways.
• Connection to a strong swimming community.
• Access to swim meets and open water events.
• Access to coach, timekeeper and referee training pathways.

While there is plenty to celebrate, including strong member retention, quality competitions, growing coaching capability and a healthy financial position, a few major challenges were also identified.

• Shortage of volunteers at swim meets
• Membership growth
• Succession planning for club and state committee roles.

The Devonport Devils look forward to contributing to these matters in the years ahead.

Thank you to MST for facilitating the workshop and to all participants for sharing their ideas and experiences.

Well done to our incredible crew of Devils and Polar Bears who made the trip to Coles Bay to take on the “Devil of a Swim”! 💪🌊

Whether it was the 5k, 2k or 1k, every one of you showed grit, determination and that signature wild spirit. Spectacular conditions, an even better community, and some seriously impressive swims all round.

Huge thanks to the water safety crew for keeping a watchful eye and all volunteers for making the swim happen.

What a way to wrap up the season at the Beach2Beach swim in Kingston! ❄️🌊

Greg made the journey with his support crew to take on the 5km — with snow on the mountains and icy winds, it was no easy feat. But that didn’t stop him from pushing through and placing in his age group!

The final TOSS series swim for the season couldn’t have ended better. Massive effort, Greg — it’s been awesome watching your ocean swimming skills grow this season and seeing you inspire others to get out there and brave the open water. 💪

Way to finish strong!

Huge thanks to all the volunteers and swimmers for supporting the Tassie open water events.
