The Ocean Dip

In, under, out. That's the whole practice

The east coast's own tradition

Get in the ocean. Go under once, properly. Stay as long as it feels good and not a minute longer. The combination of cold, salt, weightlessness and horizon does something no indoor practice fully matches. The strip of coast between Brisbane and Sydney was built for this.

1. 1Pick a patrolled beach and swim between the flags
2. 2Walk in without stopping to negotiate
3. 3Go fully under once
4. 4Float, swim or stand until you're done, then done
