GRAND FINAL WEEK

Swim blokes use Strava properly

Grand Final Week

FIGJAM: It seems no inch of the city will remain untouched by the Great Helm.

We understand earlier today, Fish lads @sampsonswims_, @sk1nny_sean, @willandbenn under the stewardship of non swimming mayfield bloke @chrispbacon69420 took to the harbour and swam a never before seen 10km Bascinet.

The blokes can now be seen absolutely flogged down at the foreshore, but told the Standard this is just the start, and:

“If @strava would throw us a few coins I reckon we fang a full 1,000km helmet across the Tasman.”
