Find your training buddy!
Training groups
At the end of each year we are asking the participants to complete a survey for the State Ocean Swim Series. In one of the questions various people indicated that they were looking for a casual/social swimming group.
We would like to provide you as a swimmer with the opportunity to train with other people by placing this contact list on the State New Zealand Ocean Swim Website.
This is a great chance for like-minded people to meet each other and build and expand their local Ocean Swim Community. If you are happy for us to publish your contact detail then please let us know and we will include your details on the webpage.
E-mail: Corne@quantumevents.co.nz.
Thank you for your support of the State New Zealand Ocean Swim Series we look forward to seeing you throughout the season and feel free to contact these people to work to you goals together.
