9 May, 2.30pm-3.30pm, The Next Wave Official Book Launch, Frankston

Join me and the open water swimming communities of Victoria for the book launch of The Next Wave, the sequel to my internationally award-winning book Immerse. Through stunning photography and intimate reflections, The Next Wave celebrates the growth and diversity of a local open water swimming community. Thirty-six swimmers share stories of healing, courage, joy, and connection—revealing how the sea restores, challenges, and brings people together. From quiet sunrises to shared laughter, loss, and renewal, The Next Wave honours both the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life lived in and by the ocean.

This will be an opportunity for ALL to celebrate what we love about our open waters, and what it means to be part of an open water swimming community.
