    Swim the Gold Coast is Australia’s newest Marathon Swim for teams and individuals.

    The course spans the length of the Gold Coast, from Coolangatta Beach in the South, to the iconic cityscape of Surfers Paradise in the North (21.5km).

    Entry options include Solo, Duo Teams and Teams of four and we’ve scheduled the event in May – it’s an end of Summer goal for every swimmer and their mates.

    If you’ve conquered iconic marathon swims like the Rottnest Channel or English Channel, Swim the Gold Coast should be on your bucket list.

    Close calls with whales happen more often than you might expect. And although the people in these videos got away relatively unscathed, there’s no denying that they were just meters away from becoming a whale’s lunch. But what would happen if they hadn’t been so lucky? Could a human body survive being swallowed by a whale? Has it ever happened before?

  • Why A High Elbow Catch Isn’t ‘High’

    There’s a big confusion around what a high elbow catch is, that it should be elbow near the surface. While it shouldn’t be really deep, the elbow will usually be at least 15cm or more below the surface…but the way we define a ‘high elbow catch’ has got anything to do with its height.

    Develop your catch and knock 10/secs per 100m (or more) off your pace? Many swimmers have done it inside the Effortless Swimming Video Membership: https://effortlessswimming.com/member…
