You may not have heard of the seaside “sport” of longe-côte, but there are more than 100 clubs at French resorts by the North Sea, the Channel, Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The sport involves walking in the sea with the water coming up to a level between the hips and chest. Now a sight you might have only seen in France is happening right here on Bruny Island.

If you come and join the Bruny Wild Swimmers on any given day, you'll find just as many souls water walking as there are swimming.

Since we started the group, it's always been about participating and getting wet, not how you actually do it. So if you'd like to give it a try, don't hesitate and come and join us.
