Interview with an Athlete scent of a woman she loves, per-haps not after training...

Stingers

From October to April every year our dedicated group of ocean swimmers compete in the NSW Ocean swimming series, arguably the best of its kind in the world. A number of our ocean swimmers like to try more exotic locations such as Fiji & Vanuatu.

We invite anyone that can swim a continuous kilometre in the ocean or pool to join us for this year’s season. Of course, if you feel you are not quite at that level we offer and extensive five step swim program to build your confidence and get you to that level click here for more details.

We also offer our own internal club championships. Click here for more information.

Coaching and Training

STG Stingers offer comprehensive swim training with four swimming sessions on offer year round. From April to October we have three pool swims and a Saturday Ocean swim. November to March we offer two pool swims and two ocean swims (please see our timetable for details of the time, location and cost of training sessions).

Our swim / ocean swim coach is Colin Marshall. Colin has an extensive competitive and coaching background. His merits include Australian swimming champion, Australian swim team & A.I.S. swim team member & Australian surf lifesaving medallist. Colin is a dedicated coach and loves to challenge his swimmers to ensure they reach their maximum potential whilst also maintaining an enjoyable, safe and laid back atmosphere at sessions. Colin is a highly experienced ocean/surf swimmer and will teach you all you need to know to improve your ocean swimming.

Benefits of being a Member

Probably the greatest benefit you will receive from joining the STG Stingers is coming into contact with people who will motivate you to stay fit and healthy. Being part of our ocean swim club helps you to set yourself fitness goals and stick to them because training and racing with a good group of people is enjoyable. 

You don't have to be a serious athlete to experience the immense satisfaction that goes with completing your first ocean swim race or setting a personal best time. Ask anyone who has done either of these and they will tell you it is a very rewarding experience.
