I'm suprised this hasn't been established already?

who does swimming around here?

how far do you swim?

how long do you swim for?

do you swim in a pool or the ocean?

Does anyone do any open water races??

I swim 3-5 times a week, anywhere from 2-4km in the Ocean.

Damn I haven't swum properly for years...tested my bi-lateral breathing the other day and I still have it :D

Used to love the swim carnivals as a kid/teenager and swimming in squad. Now find the idea of swimming in a warm public pool a bit :/

Tommy Hafey swims in the bay 365 days a year. No shit he told me. Champion.

The Harold Holt pool has an awesome 50m outdoor pool which in the winter is awesome and spooky, love going late at night when the condensation is rising and you get out and it's freezing cold.

Usually just swim 1km breaststroke but not so much of that in my routine at the moment.

I hate the ocean, love to swim in pools though.

I just dislike the salt, sand and have an irrational fear of jellyfish, sharks and stingrays. Hell, I don't even like crabs.

I am opposite I love the ocean, ok with outdoor salt pools... Hate indoor pools...

i reckon it depends on what temp the pool is at, prefer outdoor pools with temp less than 18 degrees.

bay at the moment is around 19 degrees.

Optimal temp is 15 degrees... but i swim all year round! winter and everything in between!

get's to 6 degrees.

Posted earlier about stroke correction. The highlight of the week is now my weekly coaching session. Having a coach through the winter has kept my motivation up, the drills and technique improvement she has given me has been money well spent and enjoyed.

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
