UNTIL last weekend, only two men had ever tackled New South Wales’ Lion Island swim.
On Saturday, that number increased sixfold, with 10 members of the Peninsula Ocean Swimmers completing the 8.5 kilometre feat.
Starting at Umina Beach, the group set off into Broken Bay to head around the Island and back – not quite as relaxing as doing it on a cruise ship!
The swim was delayed by a week due to heavy seas, but everyone who attempted the voyage completed it.
