just a 20km swim
away from Cottesloe
Wishing all participants and
support crews a fantastic swim
and stay on the Island.

2015 is a pivotal year for the Swim. So many things have happened in the lead up to our event
that give your committee great confidence for the future.
Karma Resorts, our new naming sponsor, is a world renowned resort brand
and has brought a great buzz with their energy and ideas and will help us reach
a new international audience.
The Sunday Times (including PerthNow) has joined us as our official print and
on-line media sponsor and radio 92.9 has jumped in as our official radio partner
(and will be broadcasting live from the finish line). This swim wouldn’t happen
without these new partnerships together with our existing sponsors. We thank
them sincerely for their support.
We’ve made some changes to this year’s event both on water and at the finish.
Skippers do tend to aim at the northern boundary buoys (one day someone will
invent a GPS for boats), so we are placing a line of new buoys on the rhumb line.
These will be marked with the distance from the start line so there won’t be any
excuses for swimming more than 19.7 km.
Also, from this year, you will have slightly further to walk to get to the hotel
once you hit the beach. We have moved the finish line a short distance north,
towards the fuel jetty. This will ease the previous congestion problems and
provide a great viewing platform for spectators. The finish arch will sit on a
ramp spanning the dunes and will provide a finish line experience you deserve
after your crossing!
If all this wasn’t enough, this year is our 25th anniversary. To commemorate
this milestone, your committee commissioned author Deborah Weetman
to write our history. We are very proud of the resulting book Champions &
Everyday Heroes – The 25th Anniversary of the Rottnest Channel Swim. This
beautifully produced book will take you through the transformation of a small,
local swimming event to a world renowned symbol of Western Australian culture.
If you would like to purchase a copy of the book, please visit our website.
In celebrating 25 years of this amazing event, we also announced our very
first Rottnest Channel Swim ‘Hall of Fame’ inductees. Congratulations to Rohan
Hollick, Barbara Pellick, Ceinwen Roberts and Peter Tanham who were honoured
to be the first inducted into this esteemed club.
I would also like to add that in 2014 our event raised $116,000 for charity.
Once again this year plenty of much needed funds are being raised by the
generous and charitable swimmers and crews taking part in the 2015 Karma
Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim.
We wish all of the swimmers and their support crews a safe and fun swim.
David Corney
President of the Rottnest Channel
Swim Association Inc
We’d like to extend a big thank you to the following people for their time, knowledge and support up to and during
this year’s event. You work hard for us and you’re all part of the family which helps the swimmers get to Rottnest
in good shape.

January 24, 1956 Gerd von Dincklage became
the first person to complete a recorded crossing
of the Rottnest Channel from the Perth mainland to
Rottnest Island.
April 13, 1969 - Lesley Meaney (nee Cherriman), a recent English
immigrant, became the next swimmer to complete a Rottnest
crossing. She swam from Natural Jetty to North Mole and in
doing so became the first female to complete a crossing, a feat
she repeated on February 18, 1970 and again on April 4, 1971,
this time from the mainland to Rottnest.
•1956•
•1969•
•1983-90•
March 25, 1956 The first race from the mainland
to Rottnest was held. Nine swimmers competed Trevor Seaborn, Tony Rigoll, Mel Andrew, Howard
Bowra, Neil Earl, George Winning, Les Stewart,
Harry Lapelaars and Toby Regan. Seaborn, Earl,
Stewart and Regan completed the race and they all
beat Gerd von Dincklage’s time with Seaborn taking
line honours.
19 swimmers completed 26 crossings
of the Rottnest Channel with seven of
these crossings starting at Rottnest.
•1998•
•1997•
•1996•
•1995•
Rottnest Channel Swim became the
world’s largest open water swimming
event, attracting 1,150 competitors.
The skipper for Grant Robinson, 1997
solo winner, used a GPS to plot their
course to Rottnest. This was one of
the first times a GPS was used during
the Rottnest Channel Swim race.
Colin Barnett, Member for Cottesloe
and Premier of Western Australia, was
asked to be the official starter of the
race.
The RCSA appointed its inaugural
Race Director (Kevin Holtom) and Chief
Referee (Richard Verboon) to oversee
the technical aspects of the event
and to ensure the event’s rules were
properly adhered to.
•2000•
•2001•
Mark Saliba set a new Solo Men’s time
of 4:00:15 which still stands today.
Personalised number plates were
introduced.
The history books were re-written when 2,022 swam the Channel. The current
Duo Race record was set by brothers Travis and Jarrad Nederpelt with a time
of 3:55:54. The Channel Swim had grown to such large proportions an event
management consultant was hired to assist volunteers in running the event.
Royal Life Saving WA began assisting the RCSA.
•2008•
•2007•
•2006•
Barbara Pellick completed her 20th
crossing. The Surf Life Saving chopper
began assisting with the swim. It
flew over the course looking out for
swimmers or boats in trouble and also
for sharks.
The event was cancelled due to
poor weather conditions caused by
cyclonic activity in the north west of
Western Australia. The RCSA resumed
full responsibility for managing the
Rottnest Channel Swim event.
The Swim marked the 50th anniversary of the first solo crossing across the
Rottnest Channel. The demanding conditions resulted in a quarter of the
field retiring. The online entry process was introduced and 2,300 swimmers
participated. Compulsory gates were placed at the 10 kilometre and 15
kilometre points as well as Phillip Rock, at Rottnest Island. Swimmers had to
swim through the gates to avoid disqualification.
•2009•
•2010•
•2011•
A record number of solos and duos
participated. The Virtual Rottnest
Channel Swim began. This gave
swimmers unable to compete in the
actual swim an opportunity to replicate
the race in their local pool.
The
Rottnest
Channel
Swim
celebrated its 20th anniversary
and record numbers of solo
swimmers participated. For the first
time, swimmers were offered the
opportunity to raise funds for a charity
of their choice via an online fundraising
service called Everyday Hero.
Record numbers of registrations
resulted in 10% of duo and team
entries missing out on selection in
the random ballot. 2300 swimmers
battled an unusual north-north westerly
swell to about half a metre on their
19.7km journey.

Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim 2015
August 1989 -- As part of the
preparations for the 6th FINA World
Swimming Championships in 1991,
Kevin Holtom went to California
and came home with the Catalina
Island Channel Swim Association’s
constitution which John Whitehead
used as the model for the Rottnest
Channel Swim Association (RCSA)
constitution.
The first Rottnest Channel Swim race was held. There were 44 entries, 16
solo swimmers and seven teams of four. Peter Galvin won the solo event in
4:30:03 and the first team over the line was Peter Blackmore, Shelley Jesney,
Sue Johnson and Anthony Short. Max and Carroll Wannell were the first husband
and wife to make individual crossings. It was recorded as the hottest Perth day
on record with the mercury hitting 46.2C.
•1989•
•1990•
•1991•
December 1989 – The RCSA was
formed with John Whitehead its first
President.
The RCSA was incorporated as a notfor-profit organisation.
Peter Tanham achieved the first double crossing of the Rottnest Channel in
14:08:05, repeated by Barbara Pellick in 1994. Barbara completed her double
crossing in 12:06:12. A tradition was being born of creating crazy team names
such as ‘Quokka Poo’, ‘Shark Bait’ or ‘On a Fin and a Prayer’. This tradition has
continued with some of the more recent entrants having names like ‘Nuckingfuts’,
‘Let’s Go Kiting Instead’ and ‘Olly Shark Trawling Tour’.
•1994•
•1993•
•1992•
The length of the swim was increased when the finish line was
moved from the Natural Jetty to the foreshore of Thomson
Bay. David O’Brien again won the solo event in a time of
4:30:06. Peter Galvin became the first person to win all three
categories of the Rottnest Channel Swim – the solo in 1991,
the duo in 1992 and the team event in 1994.
David O’Brien from New South Wales broke the existing
record by 12 minutes with a time of 4:02:08. Tamara
Bruce finished second. Teams of two swimmers (duos)
were introduced and eight teams entered. The first
duo to reach Rottnest Island was Tom Hinds and Jason
Diederich (named Peppermint Grove Jewellers).
February 22, 1992 -- 31 solo
swimmers and 39 teams of four
started from Cottesloe Beach. The
solo race was won by 14-year-old
Tamara Bruce in 4:13:58, breaking
the 1991 record by 16 minutes.
•2002•
•2003•
An electronic timing system was
introduced to improve race efficiency.
160 individuals, 92 duos and 421 teams entered
the swim. The conditions were the worst in the
history of the swim with 12–15 knot westerly
winds and early squalls. Many swimmers didn’t
even start while others withdrew during the
event. Only 43% of competitors entered that year
finished.
•2005•
•2004•
People with disabilities were given
an opportunity to enter through the
allocation of five reserved team
places. Jarrad Nederpelt became the
second person to win the Solo, Duo
and Team events after Peter Galvin.
There were 2303 participants – up 13% from 2003.
The Invincibles, the team from DFG Homeloans, set
a new race record for the fastest team in a time of
3:43:02. The swimmers were Travis Nederpelt, Jarrad
Nederpelt, Aaron Holding and Josh Sinclair. That year,
Peter Tanham completed his 21st crossing.
•2012•
•2013•
•2014•
All finishing swimmers crossed the
finish line well before the final cutoff time of 5pm – which has never
happened before!
The RCSA was successful in increasing the number of boats in the water
on event day which resulted in more swimmers participating. All finishing
swimmers completed the swim well before the final cut-off time and earlier
than the 2012 event. Swimsuit regulations were introduced which comply with
FINA’s open water swimming rules.
279 soloists competed in the Channel
Swim. The first ‘Welcome to Country’
was conducted by Ingrid Cumming at
the pre-race briefing held at Challenge
Stadium and Professor Len Collard
performed a second ceremony at
Cottesloe Beach on race day.

When Paul Miller wants something he goes after it.
After he spotted singer Louise
Anton auditioning on reality television
show The Voice, he tracked her down
on Facebook. Persistence paid off and
eventually Louise agreed to go out on
a date.
Ten months later and Paul wanted to
achieve two goals – finishing his first
solo Rottnest Channel Swim in 2014
and putting an engagement ring on his
girlfriend’s finger.
He achieved both goals at the
finish line of last year’s swim and
now the couple is preparing to tie the
knot, fittingly, on Rottnest Island, in
March 2015.
Miller trained for the channel
crossing with a $2 coin strapped to his
ankle, ready to replicate that during his
seven-hour swim when he replaced the
coin with Anton’s engagement ring.
Add to that the fact he smashed
his fundraising target to raise $3,505
for the charity St Bartholomew’s
He achieved both
goals at the finish line
of last year’s swim
and now the couple
is preparing to tie
the knot, fittingly, on
Rottnest Island, in
March 2015.
House and you get a feeling Paul is
one determined man who tackles a
challenge head on.
“I’m just glad I made it across the
Channel, the proposal wouldn’t have
had quite the same impact if I didn’t,”
Paul joked.
“We’re pretty excited about the
wedding now, but first I’ve got another
swim to do.”
Paul will be back in the water in the
2015 Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel
Swim, this time with school friend
Jason Clark in the duo category.
“Jason and I went to school together
in the UK and he was my paddler last
year,” Paul said.
“He moved here with his family
a few years ago and he always said
he’d be keen to have a go at the swim
so we thought we’d try our luck in the
ballot and luckily we got in.”
Despite losing all of his toenails in the torrid 2006 Rottnest Channel Swim, paddler Paul Jarvis has backed up every
year since to help a team of mates swim the iconic event.
Paul has paddled for teams since
that nasty day, with each of those
teams including at least one member
of the famous WA Longley family.
“I moved to Fremantle from
Merredin in 1990 and met Sam,
Griffin and Luc Longley and we’ve
been mates since,” said Paul who
is the Business Development and
Government Relations Manager at
Nature Play WA where Griffin is the
Chief Executive Officer.
“Paddling is something my wife,
kids and I love to do. We pack up the
kayaks and sleeping gear and head
away for four or five days.”
Seriously though, the
relationship between
the paddler and the
swimmers is really
important. You need
to chat to them and
guide them, try to keep
them straight.”

Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim 2015
The opportunity to help out mates
and be part of their team is what
Paul enjoys most about paddling
in the Rottnest Swim, along with
employing tactics with the guidance
of the boat skipper to help get the
swimmers to Rottnest the straightest
and fastest way.
Paul is also quick to point out the
significance of the paddler.
“The paddlers are by far the most
important people in the event,” he said
tongue in cheek.
Seriously though, the relationship
between the paddler and the
swimmers is really important. You
need to chat to them and guide them,
try to keep them straight.”
“At some stage of the swim most
swimmers will hit a hump and start
looking like they are swimming up hill.
“Using tactics and knowledge of
the conditions can help you skip
past other teams. You can really set
your swimmers up and keep them
well-placed to get to the island quickly
and safely.”
The addition of two rescue-modified jet skis to Fremantle Sea Rescue’s
fleet will enhance the volunteer group’s capabilities during this year’s
Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim.
Last year was Fremantle Sea Rescue’s biggest response to date for the
Rottnest Channel Swim, with all four rescue vessels, four vessels on loan and
two rescue Waverunner PWCs from Margaret River and Augusta Sea Rescue
groups involved. The increased level of support craft was in response to the
huge swim fleet, which will again be catered for at this year’s event.
The addition of the jet skis is a major boost to this event and will assist with
vessels having difficulty in shallow and swift waters or on top of reef at Rottnest
Island. Jet skis can access areas where traditional rescue vessels cannot reach,
either to transfer in medical supplies or to help recover stranded boaters. Jet
skis are also excellent in quickly recovering people from the water and then
transferring them to a vessel.
Fremantle Sea Rescue’s dedicated volunteers have dedicated their time to
helping save lives at sea since the early 1970s and the Rottnest Channel Swim
is the busiest day on their calendar. Each year Sea Rescue manages the on
water safety and event compliance, as well as running Rottnest Channel Swim
Base in Fremantle and Channel Swim Mobile at Cottesloe Beach.
Fremantle Sea Rescue is Australia’s busiest single sea rescue group,
responding to around 700 incidents a year.
The group is made up of over 100 volunteers who operate four dedicated
rescue vessels and maintain 24-hour radio listening watch.
On the water
The on-water crews during the Rottnest Channel Swim operate in three
teams, incorporating medical, safety and compliance and breakdowns. The
medical vessels include a purpose-designed high-speed triage vessel and two
high-speed patient treatment and transport vessels. These vessels are manned
by highly experienced medical personnel. Throughout the event the medical
vessels are strategically positioned across the fleet to ensure the minimum
possible response time to medical incidents.
Before swimmers even hit the water, the safety and compliance team is hard
at work ensuring that the swim path is clear. Once the first wave of swimmers
pass the 1000m mark, the real work begins: the seemingly impossible task
of making sure each and every swimmer finds their boat before they pass the
1500m mark. The on-water team works together with Channel Swim Base,
Channel Swim Mobile at Cottesloe, surf life savers, Leeuwin II and swim officials
to make sure the swimmer and boat pairing goes smoothly. This team also has
the full-time responsibility of making sure the competitors stay on track and the
less popular task of enforcing cutoff times. Throughout the duration of the race
the compliance and medical teams continue to monitor the swim fleet’s safety
including hazards such as commercial
shipping and deteriorating weather
conditions.
The breakdown team’s job is to
quickly tow any broken down vessels,
including their heart-broken occupants,
out of the swim fleet so they can be
taken back home to safety. They are
kindly assisted in this role by Cockburn
Sea Rescue in the south and Whitfords
Sea Rescue in the north.
How you can help
There are several things that swim teams can do to help prevent breakdowns
and accidents on the day:
• Make sure that your support vessel is mechanically sound at least four weeks
prior to the event. Remember that mechanics are especially busy in this
period and will not be available at short notice. Also allow enough time for
any mechanical problems to be resolved before the day.
• Test your radio a few weeks before the event, call VN6DI on channel 73 for
VHF ask for a radio check. Don’t assume just because your radio worked last
year that it will work again, aerials and cables deteriorate over time. Please
note that we will NOT be operating Channel Swim Base on 27mhz channel 90
in this event.
• Be prop aware! Never reverse to approach your swimmer. We also strongly
recommend that engines are completely shut down when retrieving your
swimmer from the water. In an emergency, such as a medical incident, follow
these steps to help us find you:
• Radio your emergency through to Channel Swim Base and tell us your race
number, the nature of the problem and your location. GPS locations are
good but try to give your location relative to the fleet first, i.e.: 500m south
east of the 10km marker, this will enable our vessels to start heading in
your direction sooner.
• Turn your vessel at 90° to the fleet and attempt to slowly exit the swim
fleet towards the rescue corridor (north). This will enable our rescue
vessels to identify you more quickly.
• In rare cases if we are having difficulty finding your vessel, you may be
asked to activate a distress flare, it’s very important that you only use an
orange smoke flare.
To find out more about Fremantle Sea Rescue and the additional services they
offer visit www.searescue.com.au, find us at facebook.com/fremantlesearescue
or Twitter @FreoSeaRescue
Note that you also must have an EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio
Beacon) in your safety kit.
As of January 1, 2014 it has been a mandatory addition if your vessel is
operating more than two nautical miles from the mainland shore.
In areas where strong afternoon winds render flares much less useful, an
EPIRB can very often be the difference between life and death.
On the air waves
Channel Swim Base in Fremantle and
Channel Swim Mobile at Cottesloe are
run by a team of the most experienced
volunteer radio operators. In many
ways these are the unsung heroes
of the swim. These volunteers have
the truly mammoth task of being the
communications centre for the whole
event, making and taking hundreds
of calls on VHF and private internal
channels.

With one current Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim race record to his name, Paul Vivers is keen on adding another
this year.
In 2012, as part of the 2 Pauls duo team with Paul Blackbeard, he set a new
duo Rottnest record in the male 100 plus category, completing the swim in 4hrs
21min 08secs.
This year Paul is swimming in a 200 plus men’s team which he said contains
some able swimmers.
“We could go close to the record if conditions are fair,” said Paul who is taking
part in his sixth Rottnest Channel Swim after competing in the duo in 2009 and
2012, the solo in 2010 and the team event in 2011 and 2013.
“Our team this year is Craig Martin who has done one solo, six duos and six
teams, Malcolm Fischer who has done one solo and one team and Matt Pegg
who hasn’t done any crossings yet.”
“Knowledge of the wind strength and
direction in the 24 hours before the race
can help determine what the ocean drift
will be like during the race,” Paul Vivers.
The male 200-249 record was set in 2010, with the Durban Daredevils
crossing in a time of 5hrs 05mins 23secs. That team included Paul’s recordbreaking duo partner Paul Blackbeard along with Stefan Kohler, Brian May and
Maurice Westerweller.
Competitors in the Rottnest Channel Swim are always looking for an edge that
will get them across the channel in the fastest and safest way.
For Paul, his occupation helps deliver some highly sought-after knowledge
ahead of the race.
He is a meteorologist at the Bureau of Meteorology and says knowledge of
forecast conditions can be very advantageous for race planning.
“Knowledge of the wind strength and direction in the 24 hours before the race
can help determine what the ocean drift will be like during the race,” Paul said.
“Knowing what the ocean drift is likely to be can determine what side of
the channel a swimmer meets their boat at the start. The ocean near Rottnest
Island becomes much shallower near Phillip Rock and here the ocean current
can be strong depending on swell direction, Leeuwin current and prevailing wind
direction and speed in the past 24 hours.
“In 2013 strong southerly winds in the previous 24 hours made the ocean
lumpy, but winds shifted E/SE at the start of the race so conditions weren’t too
difficult.
“I was pretty nervous about supplying a correct wind forecast and getting the
timing correct. Competitors were concerned that the race might be cancelled. In
the end the forecast was reasonably close to the conditions observed. In 2012
conditions were near perfect but not as good as 2014.”
When it comes to forecasting conditions for the iconic race, Paul said
sometimes the forecast can be correct seven days in advance, while other
times it is difficult to forecast two days ahead.
“In February cyclones develop in the Timor Sea west of Broome,” he said.
“The timing and development of these beasts can affect the winds and seas
over a broader scale, which in turn has consequences on a local scale.”
The social and fun aspects have drawn Paul back to compete in his third team
event in 2015.
“Due to shift work and old age I have trouble swimming 30km a week, the
minimum you need to swim a good solo,” he said.
“To swim a good team event we usually do two to three minute shifts if there
are no other swimmers nearby. If there is a lot of traffic in the water near us we
may do five to 10 minute shifts to consider other swimmers we may be passing
by so we do not disturb them.”

Deborah always had a passion for writing but didn’t take it up professionally
until later in life. Personal ambition and family tragedy inspired her to complete
her Bachelor degree, majoring in creative writing and English, in her 40’s.
The UK-born author was midway through her degree when her eldest daughter,
Kerry, died from an incurable cancer. She honoured her daughter by finishing her
degree with Distinction and is now honouring her own desire to pen books by
seeing Champions & Everyday Heroes published.
“Kerry was so supportive of me going to University,” she said.
“My brother was training to do the solo swim when she passed away and so
he dedicated his swim to her. Halfway through the race he started vomiting but
there was no way he was getting out of the water.”

The 25th Anniv
Dedicated elite athletes and everyday men, women and children, train for
months on end so they can successfully complete the Karma Resorts Rottnest
Channel Swim.
For Deborah Weetman, enrolling in University later in life helped create a path
to fulfil a life-long dream. For her brother, David Fairclough, the loss of Deborah’s
eldest daughter, his niece Kerry, inspired him to compete in the Rottnest Channel
Swim in 2010 and 2011.
Deborah’s dream was to become a published author. She achieved that dream
when she created, wrote for, edited, published and distributed a community
magazine in East Sussex before returning to Western Australia to firmly cement
her position as a writer.
Her relaxed, well-researched style of story-telling led to the Rottnest Channel
Swim Association commissioning her to write Champions & Everyday Heroes
- The 25th Anniversary of the Rottnest Channel Swim, her first published nonfiction work.
The highly-anticipated book was launched in December.
It is a social history book which enlightens the reader on the cultural history
surrounding Wadjemup (Rottnest), dating back over 10,000 years, followed by
its discovery by Dutch navigators and subsequent colonisation by the British. It
covers, in detail, the history of swimming between the mainland and Rottnest.
Deborah features swimmer successes, daring feats, amazing stories and the
massive amount of people and organisations who lend a hand, voluntarily, to this
unique spectacle -- from support crews, coaches, volunteer sea rescue groups,
surf club members and race officials to the hoard of volunteers who help with
registration and managing the event.
“I loved being involved in this project,” Deborah said of Champions & Everyday
Heroes.
“I got caught up in the spirit of the whole event. Talking to people involved from
swimmers to administrators, they talked about pushing physical boundaries and
they have this amazing ‘never give up’ attitude.

Melanie Moore’s ability to capture the essence of the
Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim has again given
her the honour of being the event’s t-shirt designer.
The English freelance designer
won the competition to design the
event’s t-shirt in 2013 and again she
impressed the judges and had her
design chosen for the 2015 swim.
In 2013, having lived in Perth for
just 18 months, she entered the
design competition after browsing
through a newspaper and seeing an
advertisement.
Melanie’s talents have also been
utilised by the Rottnest Channel
Swim Association for the new logo,
incorporating naming rights sponsor
Karma Resorts.
“I entered the competition to design
this year’s Rottnest t-shirt and I was
over the moon when I heard that I had
won again,” said Melanie who studied
her craft in the UK and has worked
in Hong Kong, Canada, Geneva and
Sydney.
“I had a lot of fun designing this
year’s t-shirt.
“The main aim, and a predominant
part of the brief, was to include some
aspect of the 25th anniversary of
the Channel Swim. The faces of the
swimmers in my design are made up

of ‘2015’ (in blue) and the 25 repeats
itself in the sea. I wanted to keep the
design bold, simple but effective.
“To me, these swimmers look like
they’re really on a mission to conquer
the waves!”
Melanie and partner John continue
to enjoy the Perth lifestyle and as was
the situation in 2013, she has strong
connections to the swim.
“I have a couple of friends, Joe
Graville and Darren Miller, who have
successfully achieved places this year
in the teams event,” she said.
“I plan to head to Cottesloe on the
morning of the swim to see them off.
“We are really loving living in
Perth and we are very settled. We
greatly enjoy outdoors pursuits which
the Perth climate allows, including
kayaking, running by the river and
rowing.”

Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim 2015
JOHN Muir got cold during last year’s Rottnest Channel Swim.
Add to that a cocktail of elements before and during the race and a ‘perfect
storm’ was being cultivated in his body. First he suffered from hypothermia,
then was found to have had a heart attack at about the 12km-mark, followed by
pulmonary oedema about another kilometre later.
Incredibly he finished the race and is aiming to get back in the water to
complete the swim again – more likely in a duo.
Participating in his seventh solo swim, to add to the eight times he had
participated in the team event, John was fit and healthy and aiming to complete
the crossing in his fastest solo time yet.
“I had done more training for last year’s swim and was better prepared than
any other year,” said John, who has been described by his cardiologist as a very
lucky man having pulled through such a traumatic event!
“Previously I travelled over from Melbourne to do the swim and only did about
half of the training the solo swimmers over here were doing. So once we moved
back to Perth I stepped up the training.
“That also meant I got pretty thin and I didn’t realise how much of any impact
that weight loss could have on my body during the swim.
“The water was also apparently about two degrees colder than usual last year
and I didn’t have as much wool fat on.
“My cardiologist also specified that caffeine from gel shots I consumed (I
didn’t have many) was a contributing factor to my heart attack. Although it was
a smaller factor compared to the hypothermia it nevertheless contributed to the
supply/demand mismatch which caused my heart attack.
“In hindsight all of those factors contributed to what happened to me last
year.”
Hypothermia is a drop in core body temperature below 37°C. John’s
temperature was 32°C when he got out of the water at Rottnest. Medical staff
were quick to realise he was in trouble and flew him back to the mainland and he
was treated at Fremantle Hospital.
Pulmonary oedema is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the alveoli of the
lungs resulting in shortness of breath. It has many causes, including a weakened
heart due to cardiomyopathy or heart attacks.
“I am very grateful for the care I received,” he said.
“It was one of the reasons I recovered well. The fact I was fit also helped, and
strangely enough so did the fact that I was so cold. Being cold protected my
heart from being damaged.”
John said in hindsight if he knew he had suffered a heart attack he would have
jumped out of the water straight away.
However, having raced in the solo so many times before, his pain reference
was elevated. He had come to expect pain during the swim, so just put his head
down with a vision to walking out of the water at the finish line.
“I also didn’t communicate with my paddler that well,” John admitted.
“I had a new paddler to replace mine who had broken his arm a week before.
It was visible to my crew that my speed and power had dropped away during the
swim, but no one thought it was as serious as a heart attack.
“If there’s any advice I can give to swimmers and their paddlers it is to
communicate before and during the race. You need to let them know how you
are feeling and you need to know what you will do if things don’t go to plan.”
“If there’s any advice
I can give to swimmers
and their paddlers it
is to communicate
before and during the
race.” John Muir.
Professor Ian Rogers, Professor of
Emergency Medicine at St John of God
Murdoch Hospital and the University
of Notre Dame, said hypothermia
was a common and serious problem
encountered during the Rottnest
Channel Swim.
“As a swimmer, having trust in your
paddler is a great advantage during an
event like this,” Professor Rogers said.
“If you can utilise a paddler who has
a background in health and is familiar
with hypothermia, that’s even more
advantageous.
“For paddlers, maintaining an active
conversation with your swimmer
is crucial. Changes in a person’s
mental state can show early signs
of hypothermia, so by keeping up
that conversation the paddler can
judge whether or not the swimmer is
showing any signs of the condition.”
Professor Rogers reiterated John’s
sentiments in regards to staying warm
and having your body prepared for the
conditions.
“Swimmers can come to grief when
they get too cold,” Professor Rogers
said.
“The majority of swimmers need
to be like seals – fit but with layers of
insulation to protect them while they
spend many hours in the water.”

Hypothermia is a drop in core body temperature below 37°C and happens when you lose more body heat than you
produce. This is of particular issue for solo swimmers, but not limited to them and can happen no matter how many
times you have done the swim.
Water conducts heat away from the
body 27% faster than in the air and
that represents a significant loss of
body heat for a swimmer who is in the
water for a long period of time.
Though unpredictable, hypothermia
is most likely to be an issue in relation
to the following factors:
• Low body mass index/low body fat.
• Length of time in the water – a slow
swim time or being in the water
longer than six hours.
• No previous open water swimming
experience.
• Poor preparation and nutrition
before and during the swim.
• Evaporation (for duo or team
swimmers).
• Children and seniors are more
susceptible to hypothermia and
should be watched closely.
Hypothermia warning signs:
• Slurred speech
• Weakness
• Disorientation
• Combative behaviour
• Shivering
• Increased breath rate
A hypothermic swimmer will not be
able to make rational judgments and
will be operating on autopilot. They
may not shiver or look cold and could
finish the swim, walk up the beach, sit
down or wander off. Most dangerously
they can just slowly slip beneath the
surface and drown.
The water in the channel is cool and
you will be exposed for many hours.
Given long enough, hypothermia is
inevitable. Conditions such as water
temperature, swell, wind chill and
average swim time vary each year
but hypothermia should always be
20
considered a risk. Your metabolism
and build also play a role in how well
you handle the swim. Overall, we know
from past experience and extensive
research that anywhere between a
quarter and a half of the solo field
may become hypothermic. A few will
become so hypothermic that they will
need to be hospitalised.
In its most severe form hypothermia
can be deadly.
There will be special spotters on the
finish line supplied by Sports Medicine
Australia. They are trained to identify
potentially hypothermic swimmers and
will take action. Please assist and cooperate with them even if you think
you’re fine.
Hypothermia case study
Professor Ian Rogers, Professor of
Emergency Medicine at St John of God
Murdoch Hospital and the University
of Notre Dame, has done extensive
research on hypothermia.
He says the 2006 Rottnest Channel
Swim case of an Israeli lifeguard
who was pulled out of the water and
was clinically dead for 30 minutes
is an example of what can happen if
hypothermia is left unchecked.
“This was a textbook case –
swimming solo, not a very fast
swimmer and with not a lot of body fat
despite being fit,” Prof Rogers said.
“It’s an extreme and rare case but
not unprecedented. We don’t want
to scare people but swimmers and
support crews must be educated in
what to look out for. Swimmers also
won’t recognise the symptoms in
themselves so we want to minimise all
risks.”
Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim 2015
Strategies to reduce the
risk of hypothermia
Keep warm
Duo and team swimmers should
reduce heat loss from evaporation by
drying off and dressing between each
swim.
• Evaporation even on warm days can
cause significant hypothermia.
• This will be worse on windy days.
A chamois-type towel that can
be wrung dry is recommended for
constant drying.
Cut-off times
Your safety is paramount. Comply
with the set cut-off times (see page
3a). Swimmers must be removed by
their support crew at the cut-off times.
Trust your support crew
Have your crew test your
hypothermia levels and check for signs
regularly. Trust your crew to decide if
you are in danger and abide by their
decision. It’s their duty to watch for
signs of hypothermia at all times.
A significantly hypothermic swimmer
will no longer be able to recognise
they are cold. Their swimming action
may become uncoordinated and they
may be unable to maintain a straight
course. During food stops the swimmer
may be shivering uncontrollably,
appear vague, unable to concentrate
or understand instructions, act irritably
and irrationally.
As hypothermia progresses, the
swimmer may be unable to raise their
head or arms out of the water, be
unable to obey commands or answer
questions appropriately.
Under these circumstances the
swimmer should be removed from the
water immediately and medical advice
sought.
Checklist for support
boat skippers and
paddlers
Hypothermia is life-threatening
and swimmers and their support
crew must understand the signs.
Ask your swimmer simple
questions in a random order every
30–60 minutes.
These could include:
• What’s your address and
telephone number?
• When is your birthday?
• What’s your mother’s maiden
name?
• Who is the skipper on our boat?
If the swimmer is battling with
these simple questions, it could be
a sign that hypothermia is setting in
and they should leave the swim and
be taken for medical treatment.
Once removed from the water,
they should be handled gently,
as rough handling can result in
disturbances in heart rhythm. They
should be dried, wrapped first in
plastic garbage bags or a plastic
sheet and then covered in towels
and blankets to protect from the
wind. This provides more efficient
insulation and avoids getting wool
fat on blankets. Shared body heat
may also be appropriate.
Keep the person calm, still and
awake and don’t let them sleep.
Don’t rub or massage them. If the
swimmer is unconscious, place
in the coma position, maintain
the airway and do not give fluids
or food. Seek urgent medical
attention from a doctor.
Conscious swimmers should
be encouraged to eat and drink
small quantities of warmed fluids
frequently. DON’T give them alcohol
as it increases the heat loss rate by
dilating the skin’s blood vessels.
Radio call Channel Swim Base
urgently to report your swimmer
is out of the water with suspected
hypothermia and await instructions
and directions. You may be advised
to return to the mainland even
if you are closer to Rottnest.
Seek medical support as soon as
possible.
By Nutritionist Sophy Foreman
Working in elite sport I’m often asked by athletes what my thoughts are on new eating trends.
You’ve no doubt heard people talking
about the merits, or otherwise, of recent
diets such as The No Sugar Diet, The
Paleo Diet and other Low Carbohydrate
diets, just to mention a few.
Some of their principles might not
be new to you though as over the
last few decades high protein and low
carbohydrate diets have come in and
out of fashion.
Social media now plays a large
role in promoting and increasing
the popularity of these new eating
trends. Some have even created the
emergence of restaurants catering
only to that style of eating, namely raw
food restaurants.
I believe it’s become more than just
an eating trend but the beginning of
a new era in food culture. Promoted
largely in the celebrity world, it’s
interesting to see that a handful of
high profile athletes also tweet their
food culture, and performance-wise
they seem to do ok.
Interestingly to me however is that
specific details of their day to day
eating, event preparation and training
recovery practices are never fully
revealed.
This leaves me wondering how and
where do they get their energy?
Should I consider following
these types of diets in my
preparation for the Rottnest
Channel Swim?
When you delve deeper into these
eating trends a common theme
appears. They are restrictive in some
way.
Let’s take a look at the No Sugar
Diet first. It involves eliminating all
sugar, which means you even avoid
healthy foods such as fruit (as it
contains fructose) and dairy (as
it contains lactose).
These food
groups provide vital key nutrients and
antioxidants for an active, healthy
body and shouldn’t be avoided, but
the positives to this diet are increased
awareness of their refined sugar intake
and the encouragement to eat less
processed foods.
The Paleo, or Caveman, style
of eating promotes adopting the
eating patterns of our ancestors in
Palaeolithic times. It also promotes
the avoidance of dairy, plus grains
(even minimally processed ones),
legumes (lentils, chickpeas etc) and all
processed foods. I actually question
how accurate this eating is to how
we ‘really ate’ as cavemen, but again
there are positives to take away from
this style of eating.
Similarly to the No Sugar Diet it
encourages the consumption of whole
food in as close to natural state as
possible, and promotes plentiful fresh
seasonal vegetables, and high quality
proteins (from meat, poultry, fish/
seafood, nuts and seeds), albeit little
amounts of fruit.
The Raw Food Diet promotes
fresh, whole, plant based foods;
fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, all
consumed in their natural state without
cooking in the belief that cooking
destroys enzymes which aid digestion.
This diet avoids dairy, grains and
meats and is similar to a vegan style of
eating. A watchful eye would therefore
be required to ensure you adequately
met your daily protein, iron, B12, zinc,
and calcium requirements.
What’s interesting about these
trends is that I seem to meet more and
more people who classify themselves
in a food genre but I quickly discover
that in truth they’re only ‘partial’-nosugar, or ‘partial’-paleo, or ‘partial’-raw.
It’s similar I suppose to pescetarians,
who don’t eat any meat with the
exception of fish, or the recently
coined term ‘flexitarian’ for someone
who mainly follows a vegetarian diet
but sometimes eats meat.
Perhaps this partial-adherence is
somewhat due to the inflexibility that
aspects of these diets might pose to
day-to-day living. In doing so, cherrypicking the good bits might not be
so bad, but research does support
this theory with findings showing us
that eliminating entire food groups
is difficult, unrealistic and not
sustainable.
So in answer to the question, my
main concern about Rottnest Channel
Swimmers following these diets, whilst
undertaking a heavy training program,
is adequately meeting energy needs.
You always hear about carbohydrate
being important for active people, well
it’s true.
Restrict carbohydrate too much when
you are training hard and you are likely
to experience;
• Fatigue
• Impaired recovery
• Increased risk of muscle soreness,
accident and injury.
• Loss of lean muscle if energy
intake is very low, which will effect
performance
and
potentially
metabolism. This can promote faster
weight gain once carbohydrate
intake increases.
Don’t get me wrong, I come across
athletes who eat more carbohydrate
than they require. Perhaps not
intentionally but they might forget to
include carbohydrate containing fluids,
be unaware of their portion size, or
have poor food knowledge.
The amount of carbohydrate
required actually varies significantly
between individuals depending on
individual body size, physiology and
the type of training from week to week.
Traditionally when people think of
carbohydrate-rich diets they envisage
huge bowls of spaghetti bolognese,
bottomless bread baskets and
mountains of rice.
So in keeping with some of the food
trends I’ve mentioned you can see
from the meal plan below that this is
not necessarily the case.
This plan provides about 490g of
carbohydrate, is plentiful in fruit and
vegetables, high quality protein and
doesn’t rely on processed foods, or
huge quantities of breads, rice or
pasta. This plan would be suitable
for a person approximately 80-90Kg,
doing 1-2 hours medium intensity
training per day.
It’s not just all about the carbohydrates
but the potential that these diets also
offer inadequate protein, calcium and
other essential nutrients. Protein is
an essential part of an active person’s
diet and is pivotal for muscle growth
and recovery. Calcium is important
for muscle contraction, bone health
and research shows that milk is an
extremely effective recovery drink.
It delivers protein, carbohydrate,
vitamins, minerals and water in one
hit, which can be rapidly absorbed and
metabolised by the body.
As a rule you should be cautious
about following any type of ‘popular’
generic diet, and be much better
off recognising your own individual
performance needs and plan and
choose foods accordingly. Every
individual is different, and this is where
the expertise of a qualified Sports
Dietitian will help to provide you with
a tailored eating plan to match training
demands.
Before considering adopting any
diet it’s important to make sure it is
right for you. Does it fit your lifestyle,
does it contain a healthy nutrient
balance, are there potential for risks
for nutrient inadequacies and most
importantly does it make you feel
good?
Good luck!

1. Support Boat Skipper Information
TEAM PLANNING
There are a few items to give to your support boat skipper (as provided in the
registration pack at the Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim event briefing):
- the removable 2015 Event Information centre section of this Year Book
(pages 1a-8a);
- the laminated Safety Protocols for Support Boat Skippers and Paddlers;
- the Support Boat Skipper Lanyard (which must be worn by the skipper on
event day so Race Officials can clearly identify the skipper at all times);
- the Department of Transport – Support Boat Skipper’s Wallet;
- Race Number Stickers (Two (2) large race number boat stickers and two
(2) smaller race number paddle craft stickers). The large race number boat
stickers MUST be prominently displayed on both sides of the support boat.
Affix the sticker above the water line to avoid the sticker washing off. The
smaller race number paddle craft stickers MUST be displayed on both sides
of the paddle craft. Please note: One small paddle craft sticker is to be placed
on the support boat tender if applicable.
These stickers are a safety requirement and it is the swimmer’s/team captain’s
responsibility to ensure the stickers are correctly displayed. Failure to do so
could bring you to the attention of the Race Officials.
The support boat skipper is ultimately in control and responsible for the
safety and wellbeing of their swimmer/s and support crew at all times and
will be required to follow all Event Rules, including, if necessary, the removal
of swimmers from the water if they haven’t made the set cut-off times. Prior
to the event the support boat skippers, swimmers and support crew should
discuss the following issues:
• Setting the course – the support boat skipper sets the course and
swimmers and paddlers should follow that course.
• Efficient navigation – be prepared, plan and chart the course prior to
event day.
• Team procedures – confirm the start time of your wave; discuss
identification issues – i.e. how the swimmer will find the paddler and
support boat; food and fluid that will be on the support boat.
• Practise – before event day, practise hand signals with the support crew,
plus getting in and out of the support boat.
• Allocate a spotter – before event day, determine who will be the
spotter on board who will assist the skipper in conducting safe swimmer
changeovers. A second spotter (can be interchangeable) should also be
allocated to maintain visual contact of your swimmer and other swimmers
in close proximity to the support boat, as the skipper may not be able to
see them from the helm.
2. Support Boat - Holding Areas
Prior to the start of their swimmer’s wave, support boats will be required to wait
in a Holding Area. Holding Area - North will be 600 metres north of the Start
Channel (adjacent to Eric Street, Cottesloe) and Holding Area – South will be
800 metres south of the Start Channel (adjacent to Pearse Street, Cottesloe).
Support boat skippers may choose which Holding Area to wait at and should
be in position and waiting to enter either the north of Holding Area – North or
to the south of Holding Area – South, 45 minutes before their swimmer’s
allocated wave start time.
While waiting, support boats must have their marine radios tuned to VHF
Channel 77. The Boat Coordinator will then call support boats to the front of
the Holding Area 15 minutes before their swimmer’s allocated wave
start time.
3. Swimmer Drop-off
Swimmers are NOT to be delivered to Cottesloe Beach by boat, as this is
dangerous. Support boats will be turned away by Race Official vessels if they try
to come close to shore.
Swimmers must ensure their support boat is in position and waiting to the north
of Holding Area – North or to the south of Holding Area – South, 45 minutes
before their swimmer’s allocated wave start time. Your support boat
must be in position before you start your swim.
If possible, we recommended you have a support person at Cottesloe Beach
who can keep in contact with the support boat on the morning of the event to
ensure it is in position at the Holding Area on time.
4. Swimmer Registration – SIGN ON
Solo swimmers and the first duo and team swimmer MUST present themselves
for registration and SIGN ON by collecting a timing strap from the Registration
Desk at least 45 minutes prior to their allocated wave start time. We
recommend that swimmers arrive at Cottesloe Beach at least one hour before
their wave start time.
In order to be given a finishing time and to be declared finished, the swimmer
wearing the timing strap must cross the Finish Line to SIGN OFF.
5. Wave Start Times
Solo swimmers will leave in the first four waves. The first wave will comprise the
top seeded solo swimmers. The additional waves will comprise the remaining
solo swimmers in order of race number.
Duo swimmers will leave in two waves following the solo swimmers.
Teams will leave in waves of approximately 80 swimmers every 10 minutes,
following the duo swimmers.
The Lavan Legal Charity Challenge teams must start with the age category wave
that includes their team’s combined age.
6. Race Official Vessels
Race Official vessels will be identified by ‘Race Official’ signage on the bow and
blue or orange flashing lights.
Directions by Race Officials must be followed at all times. Swimmers and
support boats that do not follow instructions will risk disqualification. Race
Officials’ decisions are final.

SUPPORT BOAT HOLDING AREAS (Refer to map below)
• Prior to the commencement of the start of the event, support boats will be
required to wait in a Holding Area. Holding Area - North will be 600 metres
north of the Start Channel (adjacent to Eric Street, Cottesloe) and Holding
Area – South will be 800 metres south of the Start Channel (adjacent to
Pearse Street, Cottesloe).
• Two (2) GREEN buoys will mark Holding Area - North and two (2) ORANGE
buoys will mark Holding Area - South. Please note: support boats must
remain at least 1,000 metres from the shore.
• Support boat skippers may choose either Holding Area and should be in
position and waiting to either the north of Holding Area – North or to the south
of Holding Area – South, 45 minutes before their swimmer’s allocated
wave start time.
• While waiting, support boats must have their marine radios tuned to VHF
Channel 77.
• The Boat Coordinator will then call support boats to the front of the Holding
Area 15 minutes before their swimmer’s allocated wave start time.
• Race Official vessels will patrol along the Holding Areas to ensure support
boats maintain position behind the buoys.
• DO NOT anchor in the Holding Areas.
THE START CHANNEL - MEETING UP WITH SWIMMER
PADDLERS
• Paddlers must leave the shore only from either of the
designated Paddle Craft Departure Points located north
and south of the Start Channel.
• Paddlers must observe and follow their swimmer’s
allocated wave start time.
• Paddle craft MAY ONLY enter the Start Channel to meet
up with their swimmer after the 500 metre YELLOW
buoys.
SUPPORT BOATS
• After moving forward to the front of the Holding Area as
directed by the Boat Coordinator, support boats should
not leave until the Boat Coordinator, on VHF Channel 77,
advises the support boats to move from position towards
the Start Channel.
• Support boats moving from the Holding Area to the Start
Channel should avoid mixing with the support boats leaving
the Start Channel area.
• Support boats MAY ONLY meet up with their swimmer
after the 1,000 metre RED buoys at the end of the
Start Channel.
• Unaccompanied swimmers are not to proceed beyond the 1,500 metre Icon Vessel.
MISPLACED (UNACCOMPANIED) SWIMMER
• The Icon Vessel will be anchored at the 1,500 metre mark. If a swimmer is
unaccompanied by their support boat at 1,500 metres they will be instructed
to swim to the Icon Vessel. Whilst in this area, swimmers must tread water
to avoid disqualification. Unaccompanied swimmers MUST NOT go beyond
1,500 metres.
• If the support boat has not met up with their swimmer within a reasonable
time they should also proceed to the Icon Vessel. The Icon Vessel should not
be used as a general meeting point for swimmers and support boats.
• If the swimmer has not been joined by their support boat after 20 minutes,
they will be taken back to Cottesloe Beach and will be recorded as “did not
finish”.
• Once the support boat and crew have located their swimmer they may
proceed beyond the 1,500 metre Icon Vessel.
• For safety reasons, no duo or team swimmer changeovers are to take place
within the first 1,000 metres RED buoys or the team WILL be disqualified.

CHANNEL BUOYS (Refer to map on page 4a)
Two sets of two metre high marker
buoys will be placed at the 10km,
12km, 14km, 15km, 16km and 17km
marks. One set will mark the northern
boundary of the Swim Course, and
for safety reasons, swimmers are to
remain south of these marker buoys at
all times. Rottnest ferries will navigate
to the north of these buoys. It is the
responsibility of the support boat
skipper and crew to ensure swimmers
do not move north of the buoys.
The other set of buoys will mark
the rhumb line, the most direct route
to Rottnest Island. If you are going to
use GPS coordinates to map the route,
we suggest you use the rhumb line
coordinates.
The approximate distance from Cottesloe Beach and the colours of each of the marker buoys are as follows:

form a gate and mark the northern boundary at approximate GPS location:
31.59.740S, 115.33.640E. Swimmers must pass through this gate. The cutoff time for this location is 3:50pm.
From the Phillip Rock gate, swimmers shall follow a line of three ORANGE
buoys set at approximately 250 metre intervals, to the 19km buoys. Swimmers
must continue to remain south of these marker buoys at all times. We recommend
that powered support boats stay out of the Finish Channel beyond Philip Rock
unless absolutely necessary.
19km: Two RED buoys marked (“19km NO BOATS”) will be set to form a
gate which swimmers must pass through. All duo/team swimmers may enter
the water and continue together at this point. The cut-off time for this location
is 4:20pm. Swimmers who do not reach this gate by the allocated cut-off
time will be recorded as ‘did not finish’ and will be required to leave the water.
2a
Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim 2015
ALL support boats MUST depart from their swimmer/s once they have
reached this point and MUST peel off either to the north or south of the Finish
Channel and allow the swimmer/s to continue on with their paddler. For safety
reasons, the support boats must not cross the Finish Channel at this point.
All support boats MUST travel to the designated location provided at the
time of their swimmer/team’s online registration (i.e. designated and booked
mooring, or immediately return to the mainland). Support boats that overcrowd
anchorage areas or raft onto other vessels moored to RIA moorings will be
subject to the attention of RIA Rangers under the RIA Act and may incur a fine.
The Finish Channel will then be marked by RED flags and paddle craft can
continue with their swimmer/s up until the start of the 400 metre Swim Channel
(19.25km buoys).
19.25km: Two RED Rottnest Express buoys will form a gate to mark the start
of the 400 metre Swim Channel which all swimmers must pass through. The
cut-off time for this location is 4:30pm. ALL paddle craft MUST depart from
their swimmer/s at the start of the 400m Swim Channel and must peel
off at this gate.
• The swimmer wearing the timing strap must pass through the arch (and over
the finish mat) to record the finish time. Other duo/team members can also
pass through the arch.
• Once through the arch at the Finish Line, the swimmers must submit their
timing strap to a dedicated volunteer or proceed to the Finisher – Sign-Off
tent. Swimmers may then have their photographs taken by the official event
photographers.
• Swimmers are to notify the timing official at the Finish Line if the timing strap
has been lost so that a manual time can be recorded. All timing straps must
be returned by 5.00pm or the swimmer/team will incur a $30 fee.
• The swim time limit is 5.00pm. If the timing strap is not returned at this point,
the swimmer/team will be recorded as ‘did not finish’.
• At 5.00pm Race Officials will reconcile all entries to identify those who have
not finished. These entrants will be called on marine radio VHF Channel 77
and instructed to leave the water. Race Officials will visit each remaining
entrant to confirm swimmers have ceased swimming. All participants have
declared on the Swimmer Declaration Form that they agree to abide by the
Terms and Conditions of Entry and the Event Rules, including cut-off times.
If the swimmer does not reach each of the marker buoys by the set cut-off
times, is not in the 400 metre Swim Channel by 4.30pm or has not finished by
5.00pm, they must comply when asked to leave the water by a Race Official
or will face disqualification and will NOT be permitted to enter the 2016 or
2017 Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim.
• A First Aid facility at the Finish Line will have qualified medical personnel in
attendance.
A Race Official vessel will mark the start of the 400 metre Swim Channel
which is a ‘Swimmers’ Only’ zone.
Swimmers MUST swim between the marked float lines for the last 400 metres.
Caution is required through the mooring area and throughout Thomson Bay.
CUT-OFF TIMES
In the best interests of the health and safety of swimmers, all swimmers who
have been in the water longer than the set cut-off time at each point along the
Swim Course and Finish Channel are required to leave the water and will be
recorded as “did not finish”. It is the responsibility of the support boat skipper
to ensure the swimmer leaves the water. Failure to leave the water at this time
will result in disqualification. Race Officials will monitor adherence to the cut-off
times at each location. The swim time limit is 5pm.
Those swimmers that are deemed ‘did not finish’, or are disqualified, will
need to SIGN OFF by returning their timing strap to either the Help Desk at the
Finish Line, Rottnest Island or the Fremantle Volunteer Sea Rescue Group Radio
Tower at Molfetta Quays (Mews Road, Fishing Boat Harbour) by 5.00pm or the
swimmer/team will incur a $30 fee.

SWIMMER CHANGEOVERS
There are two key people involved with the safe management of duo and team
swimmer changes – the support boat skipper and a dedicated spotter. The
spotter should, as far as possible, be the same person for the whole day. If that
person is changed, it should be clear to everyone who the new person is.
1.Spotter’s Responsibilities – to provide instruction to the skipper to
ensure safe changeovers; to ensure he/she is the ONLY person to provide
instructions to the skipper.
2.Skipper’s Responsibilities (during changeovers) – to disengage the
boat’s propeller(s) when instructed by the spotter, and to only engage them
when instructed by the spotter. Please note: Skippers of support boats with
double outboard motors must turn
the engine completely OFF before
taking any swimmer on board, or
allowing a swimmer to enter the water.
This is especially imperative at times
when boarding/disembarking over the
stern of the vessel.
FINA’s Open Water Swimming Rules will generally apply for this event. In addition to
the 2015 Event Information starting on page 1a, the following Event Rules apply:
1. The minimum age for all swimmers, including those in teams, at the date of
the 2015 Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim is 14 years.
2. Participation in this event is voluntary and no liability can be accepted by the
Rottnest Channel Swim Association Inc. or other organisations, officials or
volunteers.
3. Swimmers who become ill prior to the event are encouraged to seek a
medical assessment before starting the swim.
4. All swimmers must have their race number written on their swim cap and
stickers affixed to their upper arms. It is the responsibility of the Team
Captain to ensure that all other members of their team have their race
number written on their swim caps and stickers affixed to their upper arms.
5. Solo swimmers, and the first duo and team swimmer MUST present
themselves for registration at least 45 minutes prior to their allocated wave
start time. We recommend swimmers arrive at Cottesloe Beach at least
one hour before their wave starting time.
6. The start of each wave will be by air-horn. The Event Announcer will commence
the countdown to the start five minutes before each wave start time.
7. There will be no set swim time for each leg or order for the swimmers in
duos and teams. This will be left up to each team to determine. Swimmer
changeovers MUST be carried out at least 10 metres from any support
boat, except paddle craft, and tagging MUST be above the water in a visible
manner. Failure to do so may result in disqualification.
8. Support boat motors MUST be disengaged and in neutral when taking a
swimmer on board and support boats MUST NOT reverse to pick up a
swimmer or for any other reason. The swimmer should be on the windward/
weather-side of the boat. Support boats using double outboard motors
MUST turn the engine completely OFF before taking a swimmer on board.
9. The swimmer wearing the timing strap must pass through the arch (and
over the finish mat) at the Finish Line to record the finish time and SIGN OFF.
10.In any Rottnest Channel swim attempt a swimmer is not allowed to use, or
be assisted by, any artificial aids.
In any Rottnest Channel swim attempt, Swimsuits must comply with FINA’s
Open Water Swimming Rules. Generally, FINA provides that a complying suit:
1. Is of a woven textile material
2. Does not cover the neck.
3. Does not extend beyond the shoulders or ankles
FINA rules are subject to revision from time to time. It is the responsibility
of each swimmer to ensure compliance.
The RCSA provides the following guidance in the application of this rule for
the purposes of any Rottnest Channel swim attempt:
You may:
1. (for modesty) wear two suits so long as one suit comprises only briefs
(men and women) or a bikini (women).
2. grease the body before a swim,
6a
Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim 2015
How it should work - What should be said by the Spotter and the Skipper:
Spotter: “Swimmer change in XX minutes.”
Skipper: “Swimmer change in XX minutes.”
Spotter: “Swimmer change now. Props off.” For vessels with double outboard
motors or when boarding/disembarking over the stern, “Engines off.”
Skipper: “Props off. Engines off.”
Spotter: “Swimmer in the water” (indicate to next swimmer they may enter the
water).
Spotter: (Swimmers tag and incoming swimmer approaches boat) “Swimmer at
back (or side) of boat.”
Skipper: “Swimmer at back (or side) of boat.”
Spotter: (After swimmer gets in to the boat) “Swimmer in boat – ALL CLEAR.”
Skipper: “Swimmer in boat – ALL CLEAR.” Skipper may now engage boat
propeller (or re-start engines) and proceed.
A practice scenario of the above, to practice hand signals with the swimmer,
spotter and support crew, plus getting in and out of the support boat should be
conducted before the event to ensure that all crew are aware of the procedures
and the communication lines.

SUPPORT BOAT GUIDELINES – Minimum Requirements
Entrants must organise their own support boat and paddle craft – no personal
watercraft (jet skis) permitted.
The size of the boat required is determined by two factors:
• The minimum size of boat that is legally permitted to travel to Rottnest Island;
• The number of people onboard.
For these reasons, and for comfort and sun/wind protection, the RCSA
recommends the following size boats:
Category
Solo
Duo / Team
Recommended Boat Size
No less than 5 metres
No less than 6 metres
The RCSA will, however, allow any vessel with a length 4.5 metres or greater
legally permitted carry the whole team (including all swimmers and paddlers,
and support crew).
The number permitted is determined by EITHER the information displayed
on the Australian Builder’s Plate or (if there is no Builder’s Plate) by
reference to the W.A. Department of Transport requirements per the
following table:
Length of Boat
4.5m to less than 5.0m
5.0m to less than 5.5m
5.5m to less than 6.0m
Maximum number of people aboard
(including swimmers and paddlers)
5
6
7
It is the responsibility of the Skipper to make sure the boat is suitable and
capable of making the trip and to check, and double check, that the support
boat is not overloaded.
Support Boat - Safety Equipment
All support boats must be equipped with all the required mandatory
marine safety and emergency equipment as per the WA Navigable
Waters Regulations listed below:

Support Boat - Recommended Additional Safety Equipment
First Aid Kit
High Protection
Sunscreen
Knife
Rope
Fresh Water
Alternative Power
Torch
Heliograph Mirror
Tool Kit
Blanket, towels,
sleeping bag, plastic
sheet
To cover accidents or injury that could befall any member on
board, a first aid kit is essential. Remember, seasickness is
debilitating so carry the remedy. It is also recommended to
carry Stingose in your First Aid Kit for this event.
Reapply to swimmers each time they towel off.
Always handy with many uses. Keep your knife sharp at all
times.
Additional rope onboard can be extremely useful for various
purposes and for towing.
A good supply of fresh water is essential when boating as the
sun and the salt can quickly dehydrate you.
Spare outboard, oars or paddles to get the boat to safety in
the event of power failure.
A torch can be useful in an emergency situation, for attracting
attention as well as checking bilges.
This is a signalling device that uses a mirror to reflect the
sun’s rays to the shore or to other vessels.
There is no substitute for an adequate tool kit on board your
boat.
To keep swimmers warm when out of the water, and to
manage suspected hypothermia - see page 18.
The Department of Transport Marine Officers will be monitoring compliance
with the above requirements before and during the event.
Please note: if a support boat fails to meet the above requirements,
the swimmer/team may face disqualification.

PREPARING FOR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
To assist in preparing for emergency situations ensure that you:
• Know your race number and use it as your call sign;
• Clearly display your race number boat stickers on both sides of your support boat and paddle craft;
• Ensure your radio is on, with the volume turned up to ensure emergency vessels can make contact with you;
• Have seasickness provisions on board your support boat and procedures for treatment of both swimmers and support crew;
• Pack basic First Aid supplies for minor afflictions including sunburn, dehydration, mild hypothermia and stingers;
• Ensure the support crew equips themselves with adequate food and fluids for during and after the event.
MAYDAY EMERGENCY
(Boat sinking or on fire)
A Mayday emergency is one in which
the support boat is in grave and
imminent danger requiring immediate
action to isolate, control and eliminate
dangers and may also require
immediate rescue.
The support boat skipper is instructed
that when they become aware of the
situation, to signal “Mayday, Mayday,
Mayday!” via the VHF Channel 16 and
then communicate their position and
race number. This will be relayed to
emergency vessels, which will respond
with assistance. All other nearby
vessels will also respond.
Fire procedures embrace three
essential requirements. In most
instances they will be initiated
concurrently. They are as follows:
1. Ensure the immediate safety of all
support crew and swimmers;
2. If it is obvious that there are
unnecessary risks associated
with attempts to control the fire,
withdraw from the boat;
3. Evacuate the area.
PAN-PAN EMERGENCY
(Vessel at risk or person at risk)
A Pan-pan emergency is one in
which there is an urgent message to
transmit concerning the safety of the
support boat or the safety of a person
(for example, medical emergency,
mechanical breakdown, or a person
overboard).
Support crews are instructed, that
when they become aware of such a
situation, to signal “Pan-pan, Pan-pan,
Pan-pan!” via the VHF Channel 16 and
then communicate their position and
race number. This will be relayed to
emergency vessels which will respond
with assistance.
MISSING SWIMMER AND/OR
SUPPORT CREW
A misplaced swimmer and/or support
crew is a warning of an impending
major aquatic emergency and should
be reported to Channel Swim Base.
A swimmer and/or support crew
should only remain in the misplaced
phase for 10 minutes from the time
Channel Swim Base is notified.
After this time a misplaced swimmer
and/or support crew become a
missing swimmer and/or support
8a
crew. Support crews are instructed
to signal “Pan-pan, Pan-pan, Panpan!” via the VHF Channel 16 and
then communicate their position and
race number. This will be relayed to
emergency vessels, which will respond
with assistance.
Gathering information of a missing
support crew and/or swimmer helps
narrow the field of search. Important
information includes: description and
condition of swimmer, support boats
and/or paddlers, time last-seen, lastseen location and last-confirmed
location.
RESUSCITATION
Basic Life Support Flow:
• Check for danger – hazards/risks/
safety
• Are
they
responsive
or
unconscious?
• Open and clear airway – check for
signs of life*
• Give two initial breaths if not
breathing normally
• Give 30 chest compressions
(almost two compressions per
second) followed by two breaths
and repeat as necessary
• Defibrillation – attach AED as
soon as available, turn on and follow
its prompts (AED = Automated
External Defibrillator)
• Continue CPR until qualified
personnel arrive or signs of
life return (*no signs of life =
unconscious, unresponsive, not
breathing normally, not moving).
HYPOTHERMIA
• In the case of suspected
hypothermia, always seek medical
aid as soon as possible.
• At all times, the person should be
handled gently as rough handling
can result disturbances in heart
rhythm. They should be dried,
wrapped in towels and blankets and
protected from the wind.
• A large plastic garbage bag or sheet
should form the initial layer next to
the skin and blankets placed over
this. This provides more efficient
insulation and avoids getting wool
fat on the blankets. Shared body
heat may also be appropriate.
IF UNCONSCIOUS:
• If the swimmer is unconscious,
place in the coma position, maintain
Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim 2015
the airway and do not give fluids or
food. Radio call Channel Swim Base
to request urgent medical aid.
IF CONSCIOUS:
• Keep the person calm, still, and
awake and don’t let them sleep.
Don’t rub or massage them.
• Conscious
swimmers
should
be encouraged to eat and drink
small quantities of warmed fluids
frequently. DON’T give them alcohol
as it increases the heat loss rate by
dilating the skin’s blood vessels.
• Radio call Channel Swim Base
urgently to report your swimmer
is out of the water with suspected
hypothermia and await instructions
and directions. You may be advised
to return to the mainland even if you
are closer to Rottnest.
JELLYFISH (BLUBBER)
If a swimmer is suffering from a minor
skin irritation from the sting of blubber
jellyfish:
- Dry victim and protect from the wind
- Prevent victim from rubbing the
area and keep victim calm
- Wash the affected area with sea
water – do not use fresh water or
vinegar
- Apply hot packs to the affected
area, or place the affected limb in
water as hot as can be tolerated
(about 43oC), after first checking
the temperature. Leave the affected
limb in water until the pain subsides
- Alternatively, hold a small block of
ice with a glove or cloth and rub the
ice over the affected area
Please note: If a sting covers a large
area, and particularly if the casualty is
cold or wet, using cold therapy may
cause hypothermia.
-If available, the application of
Stingose is appropriate
If pain persists for long periods of
time, or if symptoms worsen, radio
call Channel Swim Base for medical
aid.
In the case of a suspected Irukandji,
Box jellyfish, or Bluebottle sting, seek
urgent medical aid by signalling “Panpan, Pan-pan, Pan-pan!” via the VHF
Channel 16 and then communicate
your position and race number and
follow instructions.
SUNBURN
• Prevent by keeping out of sun,
wearing long sleeved clothing, and
applying UV screening lotions
• Cool affected area with fresh water
for 10 minutes
• Apply cool, moist compress to
affected area
• Rest in cool place.
SHARK ATTACK
• Remove the victim from the water, if
safe to do so
• Signal “Pan-pan, Pan-pan, Panpan!” via the VHF Channel 16 and
then communicate your position
and race number and follow
instructions. Emergency vessels will
be immediately deployed to attend
with medical aid. Remain in the
current location unless instructed
otherwise as emergency vessels
can travel at great speeds to attend
and will transport the victim to the
nearest emergency department.
Whilst waiting for medical aid to
arrive, treat the victim for traumatic
injury:
• apply pressure to control bleeding
• apply a constrictive bandage if
necessary
• begin CPR if required.
DANGEROUS WEATHER
If the Race Committee deems the
weather conditions – taking into
account the forecast – to be unsafe,
the Channel Swim Base will broadcast
the following message using VHF
Channel 77:
“Your attention please Rottnest
Channel Swim Event participants, this
is the Race Director.
The
weather
conditions
have
deteriorated and the forecast does not
indicate any improvement.
The Rottnest Channel Swim Event has
been abandoned.
Please remove your swimmer from the
water.
Please put your engine in neutral and
let the swimmer proceed to the boat.
DO NOT move your boat to the
swimmer.
I repeat - let the swimmer proceed to
the boat and DO NOT move your boat
to the swimmer.
Please do not proceed to shore until
all swimmers around you have been
collected.”
It was while they were swimming around the idyllic Croatian coastline on an adventure holiday when close friends Penny
Dwyer and Kay Jones encouraged each other to tackle another life challenge head on.
“We were having a Croatian beer or two during downtime on the swim trek
when we decided to enter the Rottnest Channel Swim duo event,” Penny said.
“I have never done a duo so I thought it was time to have a go. Each of us
has our own physical limitations, Kay with her Multiple Sclerosis and me with
recurrent back problems, so we have challenged ourselves and we are ready.”
The determined and motivated friends have each done a number of team
swims, while Kay has also done two duos – the most recent of which was in
2014 when Penny was part of her support crew.
“Swimming brought us together about eight years ago when we met at the
Freo Fins,” Penny said of her and Kay, who was diagnosed with MS about 20
years ago.
“I joined to stay fit. That led to doing ocean swims, the Rottnest Channel Swim
and then swim treks.
“I think we inspire each other given our own situations and during the swim
we’ll be looking after each other as best we can and motivate each other to
finish the race in under eight hours.
“We want to do the swim together to achieve something together and if we
can finish in seven-and-a-half hours we’ll be happy.
“Our paddler is our good friend Kim Tyler who is also our coach and mentor.
She will be there encouraging us all the way.
“We’re not looking to break any records, although both Kay and I have a
competitive streak so that might spur us on.”
Penny also continues to hit the water to Rottnest despite an ordinary
experience during her first swim.
“During my first Rottnest Channel Swim in 2006 I was lost at sea,” she said
rather calmly.
“There was a big swell and the boat had to leave me to go and find our
paddler. I just kept swimming as the waves crashed over my head and they took
ages to find me.
“But there’s just something about the swim and how it challenges you that
makes you want to get back in and do it all over again.”
Brothers step up in solo challenge
A healthy sibling rivalry, the motivation to fundraise for
a cause close to his heart and the ambition to boast
personalised Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim
number plates are all driving Lex Robertson to complete
his first solo crossing this year.
Lex has worked his way through team and duo swims but this is the first time
he will tackle the 19.7km swim on his own.
“Last year I competed in the duo with my younger brother Ross, but this year
we’re competing against each other in the solo event. It’s on!” Lex said.
“Although we are training together we are both very competitive. We are
both doing our first solos and while he might be younger than me I’m more
experienced, so hopefully that gets me to the finish line ahead of him.
“We both did a bit of karate as kids and he was better than me at that – so I
want to prove I’m a better swimmer.”
In terms of the step up from team to duo and now the solo swim, Lex said the
focus for training had been purely on swimming.
“When I trained leading into the team and duo swims I did triathlons, but in the
lead-up to the solo it’s been all swimming,” he said.
“There’s been a lot of extra kilometres in the water. It will also be just as much
of a mental battle as it will be a physical battle this year having to be in the water
the whole time.”
In last year’s duo event the Robertson brothers finished in five-and-a-half
hours. For his first solo attempt Lex is aiming to complete the crossing in under
six hours.
Lex is one of hundreds of competitors using the grueling swim to benefit
others as he fundraises for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
His best mate’s daughter has Juvenile Diabetes.
“I went to a JDRF fundraiser last year and it really inspired me to do what I
could to help,” he said. “There is a lot of research being done and it’s such a
worthy cause.”

When respected swimming coach Erin Shaw addressed Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim competitors last
August in preparation for this year’s event, her own experience shaped much of her advice.
Erin has completed the crossing
many times herself and coached plenty
of swimmers. This year she is helping
to coach 12 swimmers of varying
ages and experience and will again
take to the water with duo partner Gail
Parsons.
“I have been involved in swimming
since I was a kid and for the most part
that’s because I love the camaraderie
that comes with it,” said Erin, the
Junior Development coach for Swan
Hills Swimming Club
“At the swimmer’s seminar I
emphasised the benefits of swimmers
joining a swim squad or a group to help
motivate them as they prepare for the
event.
“Family and friends are great
support out of the water, but it can be
very motivating and help you get more
out of yourself if you have people in the
water pushing you and urging you on.”
Erin, who also works with the Trench
Health and Fitness triathlon squad,
starting coaching when her then young
daughter showed interest in swimming
and she said it is the connections she
makes with people that have driven her
to continue on her coaching journey.
“I am just an ordinary person who
likes sharing something I love to do,”
Erin said.
“I get a lot out of working with
people and watching them improve. A
lot of people who were not childhood
swimmers take up the challenge
of swimming to Rottnest and it is
wonderful being able to help them
reach that goal in what is such an
iconic event.
“My swimmers train hard but I like to
keep training fun and light-hearted.
“It’s all about trust. If they trust me
they’ll do what I ask – including some
unconventional things – but it can be
a lonely sport so keeping it fun keeps
them and me motivated to keep
getting back in the pool early in the
morning.”
“I am just an ordinary
person who likes
sharing something I
love to do,” Erin Shaw.
Erin’s tips for final Karma Resorts
Rottnest Channel Swim preparation:
• Just over a month out from the
swim, competitors should be doing
a high volume of swimming every
week – around 25-30km for solo
swimmers, 20-25km for duos and
10-12km for those in teams.
• Tapering off takes place in the last
two weeks.
• In those last two weeks swimmers
should be doing less swimming
(in terms of distance) and instead
should be concentrating on rest and
nutrition.
• They need to practice their nutrition
for the day of the swim and make
sure they’ve got their swim plan
organised with their paddler and
their boat.

Putting your hand up to
paddle across the channel
is a serious undertaking and
you need to understand how
demanding the trip can be.
Information courtesy of
Canoeing Western Australia
Crossing the channel from Cottesloe to Rottnest could take anywhere from
four to nearly 11 hours so you must be aware of your own capabilities and the
conditions you are likely to encounter on the day.
The channel is an exposed section of water prone to strong winds. Researching
weather conditions ahead of the event is integral to your role and what challenge
may lie ahead of you and your swimmer.
Paddling is physically taxing. Maintaining an upright position close to the
swimmer and staying alongside the swimmer in challenging conditions can be
demanding.
In preparation you should have paddled a craft for lengthy periods before and
be aware of possible discomfort.
PADDLING INFORMATION
• The recommendation from Canoeing Western Australia is to practice at a
local club and to complete an Open Water Paddle Competency Test.
• Visit www.wa.canoe.org.au for information on local clubs and education,
including accredited and basic skills courses.
• You can also head to the Ocean Paddling website www.oceanpaddling.org.
au for information on the Ocean Paddling – Be Safe framework which was
developed to enable paddlers to think about what approach they should take
to ensure safe ocean paddling practices. When the framework is applied
informed decisions can be made about safe ocean paddling practices relevant
to the paddling activity you are participating in. The Be Safe framework for
ocean paddling safety is supported by key pillars:
1. General and Safety Equipment
2. Competency and Capability
3. Environment and Climate
4. Individual Behaviour
5. Individual Awareness
Crossing the channel from Cottesloe to Rottnest
could take anywhere from four to nearly 11 hours so
you must be aware of your own capabilities and the
conditions you are likely to encounter on the day.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
• Hydration – a backpack drinking system is ideal and make sure refills are
available from your support boat.
• Use plenty of sun protection (sprays work well) and ensure there’s a firm chin
strap on your hat.
• Thermal clothing retains warmth while wet and consider the need to add or
remove clothing throughout the duration of the event.
• Head-to-toe clothing is advised e.g. Arafat hat, sunglasses, long sleeve
rashie/thermal, gloves, long leg pants and either thermal or neoprene and
booties.
Be conscious of the shore break when entering the water at Cottesloe.
Bracing strokes allow you to deal with inevitable bumpy conditions in an
effortless manner. A degree of skill and competence is needed to manoeuvre
your paddle around your support craft and alongside your swimmer who is
usually travelling much slower than you. Effective forward, back, sweep and
draw strokes are essential. Keeping a distance between you and the support
boat is also imperative.
Your choice of craft is important for comfort, stability and manoeuvrability.
Choose a craft with good stability. Shorter craft are generally more manoeuvrable.
Correct leg length helps posture and stability. Back support is recommended for
posture.
The ability to receive food and drinks from your support craft is essential to
your journey, as is the ability to secure food, drinks and accessories in the event
of a capsize.
With over 2000 swimmers in the water for this year’s Karma
Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim, courtesy and respect will
go a long way to ensuring the 25th anniversary of the swim
is a safe, fun and rewarding event for all involved.
Adhering to the start line protocol and adopting good boat etiquette is
essential to setting the tone for swim day.
When starting the crossing at Cottesloe, stay away from the holding area until
your swimmer’s wave has been called.
Here is some crucial information for skippers and support crew:
• The safety of swimmers and vessels lies firmly in the hands of the skippers.
• You are responsible for the safety of everyone in your team and those
participating around you. Take a slow and cautious approach to the swim and
be aware of one of the major causes of injury in an event of this kind – the
propeller.
• ALWAYS have your swimmer in sight and in mind with a dedicated spotter at
all times.
• If a swimmer is immediately

day on the water.
• DO NOT reverse or go astern. If you
need to go back, turn outwards and
leave the traffic flow (or swim direction) at right angles and re-enter the swim
flow at the smallest of angles.
• If something makes you angry, take a deep breath and think before acting.
Remember the safety of thousands of swimmers and support crew is at
stake.
• Adrenaline runs high over the entire 19.7km of the swim so stay cool, calm
and collected. Frustration and anger are often the triggers for bad decisionmaking.
• Your radio MUST be on at all times and remember the four Ts – turn on,
tune in, turn up and test. Communication is the key to safety and ensuring a
memorable day on the water.
• BE PREPARED. Familiarise yourself with beach anchoring and mooring
etiquette at www.rottnestisland.com You will find valuable information from
the Rottnest Island Rangers. The rangers have the authority to move you
on all the way to the mainland if necessary, so don’t let ignorance be your
excuse for bad etiquette.
