“What is the fuel I need for the work required?”...This is the only question you need to ask yourself this year.
Stop asking “should I go low carb” as a blanket solution to your poor choices.
“FUEL FOR THE WORK REQUIRED” ensures you get the best of both worlds.
Once you’re across the finish line and walk up on onto the beautiful white beaches of Thomson Bay, you’ll be looking up at Hotel Rottnest, which welcomes you, your team and support crew to come and celebrate your swim!
We are proud to be associated with this iconic, much loved venue and couldn't be more grateful for the support Hotel Rottnest has given us since the event began.
We’re thrilled to welcome back Austral Fisheries as one of our major event sponsors in 2020.
Austral is one of Australia’s largest integrated commercial fishing companies with interests in both deep-sea fishing and at-sea prawning. Austral has been a sponsor since Port to Pub began and has the important role of presenting sponsor for the 25km ultra-marathon solo crossing. The 25km event is the longest open water swim in the Southern Hemisphere. Austral supports us, and we love that Austral also loves the ocean, and takes good care of it too.
We have been profiling the work our 2020 charity partner, the Fremantle Foundation is doing in the WA community, supporting wide range of programs to help groups in need.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) specifies that rates of chronic Otitis Media (OM) above 4% in children constitutes a “massive public health problem” requiring urgent attention. Australia is the only western country with documented chronic suppurative OM rates above 6%.
We are delighted that KC Australia is continuing its support and sponsorship as our long-standing Premium Partner and official merchandise supplier, providing another great range of event merchandise for Port to Pub participants, spectators and supporters.
WA family-owned and operated since 1981, KC Australia specialises in uniform and branding solutions; providing uniform, merchandise, hospitality, and promotional merchandise needs with competitive pricing and an extensive product catalogue to suit all requirements and budget.
One of the groups given assistance by our 2020 charity partner, Fremantle Foundation, is Freo Street Doctor. It is a mobile General Practice providing primary healthcare and mental health support to those people most at need and vulnerable in our community. Primary health care services are provided by General Practitioners, supported by Registered Nurses and Outreach Worker/Counsellors. The team ensures physical health and medical care is provided, as well as counselling and linking patients with complementary social services needed to support the complex social needs of clients.
We are so lucky to have Western Australian artist Kirsty Watkins produce our stunning artwork for 2020 – an acrylic painting of a Port to Pub swimmer nearing the finish line.
Kirsty is an artist, but also a seasoned open water swimmer. In fact, she’s signing up to swim in the 2020 event!
Fremantle PCYC’s Breakfast Club began with the aim or improving the health and nutrition of a group of at-risk young people in Fremantle.
So far, the Breakfast Club has welcomed children, aged 2 to 15 years old, from 14 schools across the Fremantle area, and provided 859 breakfasts and 360 lunches, totalling 1,219 meals.
Breakfast Club is a place where Fremantle PCYC don’t just provide food to those who might not have enough, but where friendships are made and support is given – socially, materially and emotionally – to young people for whom this may otherwise be scarce.
Hydration and electrolyte intake during your swim
It’s essential that Port to Pub competitors keep up a good hydration status during their swim. It is especially crucial for those swimmers competing in our 19.7km, and 25km solo swims to monitor hydration levels as part of their overall swim nutrition plan.
The 2020 Channel Seven Port to Pub with Hotel Rottnest will create its biggest splash yet with Olympians diving in alongside your next door neighbour –- all with the aim of achieving their goal of swimming to Rottnest.
Port to Pub is pleased to announce Channel Seven as the event’s new naming rights sponsor, and aims to reach more swimmers with the message to set personal goals, start training and take on the challenge of swimming to Rottnest.
