Description
We met up with the Mooloolaba Beach Bums for a swim as the sun rose on a beautiful morning in Mooloolaba and were joined by Colin, Henry, Robyn and Dave after to learn about what it’s like to be a bum up on the Sunshine Coast! During our chat we talked about the history of the group, the strong community ties it has and we got deep into the benefits of being a part of an ocean swimming group. Henry surprised with a story about how he survived a plane crash into the ocean, putting his survival down to his lifetime of ocean swimming.
