BELLARINE MP Alison Marchant will join hundreds of swimmers at next month’s Wreck2Reef swim in Indented Head as part of a bumper weekend on the Bellarine’s northern coastline.<\/p>\n

Ms Marchant, who was in attendance at last year’s swimming event as a special guest, will swap her political suit for a wetsuit by taking part in the “Salty Bitches” 600m open water swim on February 10.<\/p>\n

“Last year it was a privilege to pull the starting gun and watch swimmers compete, but I had made a promise to this year jump in the water myself,” Ms Marchant said.<\/p>\n

“I’m excited to give myself a challenge and join in the camaraderie of the open water swim, as well as cheering on everyone giving it go.”<\/p>\n

“The beautiful Indented Head beach is the backdrop to the Wreck2Reef event and encourages locals and visitors to the area.<\/p>\n

“Another opportunity for families to get active outdoors and whilst showing off the beautiful landscape of the Bellarine.”<\/p>\n

Following her swim, Ms Marchant will throw her support behind swimmers participating in the 800m, 1.2km, and 2.5km open water swims, including the 300m junior dash.<\/p>\n

The annual Wreck2Reef swim has been a staple event in Indented Head and has been hosted by the Indented Head Yacht Club since 2010.<\/p>\n

Last year’s event held record numbers with over 350 swimmers entering Wreck2Reef events with participants coming from as far as the Northern Territory, New South Wales and across Victoria.<\/p>\n
