The line honours for the 2019 Hotel Rottnest Port to Pub ocean swim came down a sprint in the last 500m between two teams of six - the South Cott Physio Dream Team and the Subiaco Sports Massage Steam Team.

The eventual winners - South Cott Physio Dream Team featuring current open water swimming champions : Gareth Evans, Andy Donaldson, Josie Page, Sacha Downing, Ben Jones and Arna Couper, won the open water swimming team event in a time of 4:03:22.  They also were the winners of the K & L Gates Corporate Cup.

Each month, we’re bringing you an example of how grants from our 2019 charity support partner Fremantle Foundation are supporting community programs to help groups in need. 

Attendance at school can be an indicator of academic performance, but it’s often hard to figure out what motivates kids to go to school, or not. 

One school in the greater Fremantle area has experienced an increase in attendance and an associated lift in the academic performance of some of their students – and the source is an unexpected one.

You wouldn’t try a new swim stroke on race day, so certainly do not try new foods on race day either.

The Port to Pub is rapidly approaching so now is the time to start thinking about the foods you’ll be trying the days before, the night before, the morning of and during the iconic swim.
