With Port to Pub only 4 weeks away, I am sure you are all well in to your training. As a Sports Physio working in open water swimming, one of the most common problems I see as the athletes ramp up their training load leading in to an endurance event is a progressive tightening of the upper back, called the thoracic spine.
Good flexibility of the thoracic spine is imperative in open water swimming to enable:
You wouldn’t try a new swim stroke on race day, so certainly do not try new foods on race day.
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.

We are so lucky to have the work of Perth-based digital artist Lizzie Marinko feature on the competitor hoodies and towels this year. The piece is created from a photo taken of the 2017 mixed team of four wave start on Leighton Beach.
As a family-owned WA company started in 1979, Scott Print has always looked to give back to the community, and after its support at our inaugural Port to Pub in 2016, we’re thrilled to have the Scotts team back on board as a sponsor again for the third year running!
There are some people in our community that need no formal introduction. Jamie Loh is unquestionable one of them – and that’s no accident.
For well over two decades, Jamie and his team at Jamie Loh Real Estate have created a new benchmark in the real estate game. A former investment banker, Jamie has focused his business in the Cottesloe and broader Western Suburbs market.
We are thrilled to have Fremantle-based Blue HQ Marinas on board as a sponsor for the 2018 Port to Pub swim.

If you haven’t started training yet for the Port to Pub Swim, don’t worry we are here to help. You have 10 weeks to go! Here is your Hotel Rottnest Port to Pub Training Guide to help keep you motivated and to give you some guidance in the lead up to the swim!
HOW TO USE THE GUIDE
Contrary to popular belief, quality training is not about who can do the most amount of training, on the least amount of fuel.
