🏊 Ocean Swim Confidence
Develop aerobic efficiency and upper-body endurance to thrive in the 1.9km ocean swim at Mooloolaba Beach. Video swim drills help you refine stroke technique for smoother, more efficient movement through sheltered waters.

Integrated resistance training supports joint stability, muscle mass, and bone density—all critical for athletes over 60 who want to stay strong through training and race day.
