For the very first interview of our inaugural podcast, ONSHORE, we met up with a super hardy bunch of open water swimmers from Black Rock, in the Bayside area of Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne.

Suzette Sutton, Rob Wilton, Peter Hendricks, Julie Slattery, Yvonne Mooyman and Anja Ahale are part of the Bay Open Water Swimmers group and had just been for their weekly Friday sundowner swim. Andre spoke to them around a table outside the Black Rock Yacht Club.
