ANNOUNCING OUR PARTNERS

Leading the pack is our official (and most appropriate) naming partner, Hotel Rottnest. Hotel Rottnest is the swim’s end destination and central hub for festivities into the night. More detail on what is planned will be revealed in the coming months, but we dare say it will be worth the effort.

December 2015 Training Update

Key Training Tips
Ceinwen Roberts

We hope your training for the Port to Pub is going well. Being consistent is so important to your improvement – you will really feel the difference in your stroke if you miss a week or even a few days of training. At this busy time of year, it’s really important to stay on track by locking your swim training into your diary and making it a priority. If you’re not swimming in a squad, organise to swim with a friend so you have someone to keep you on track and accountable!

Hotel Rottnest port to pub nutrition tips

STAYING HYDRATED
David Bryant - Sports Dietitian, Catalyst Nutrition and Dietetics
