ONSHORE Podcast: Ep #012 – Merimbula Merpeople
Details
Date: 5 July 2020
Interview number: 012
Interviewees: Merimbula Merpeople
Venue: Mitchies Jetty, Merimbula
Description
We met up with group ‘leaders’ Micheal and Michelle, and the Merpeople at Mitchies Jetty for our first NSW ocean swim, a coffee and a chat.
We talked about how the group splintered from the Bar Beach Swimmers (not in a bad way), how small regional communities are so close and how swimming brings them even closer, and the joys of swimming.
