ICY DIPS ARE THE FOUNDATION OF FRIENDSHIP IN THIS UNIQUE SWIM GROUP
The thrill of a sunrise swim is helping a Victorian coastal community tackle mental and physical health issues, while fostering lifelong friendships.
Cheekily dubbed the 'Salty B---hes', the group boasts 1500 members.
Every morning, at the crack of dawn, they meet at different locations along the Bellarine Peninsula to get their salt-water hit.
Founder Sarah Fenton says the group was born by accident after she suffered some physical health issues in September 2020 during the COVID pandemic.
