Every morning at the crack of dawn, the Salty Bitches brave a cool ocean swim. But while they're salty from seawater, they're certainly not in attitude.
The groups swim every day along the Bellarine Peninsula and welcomes all ages, sizes, abilities and gendersA filmmaker from the area has made a documentary about the group and Ms Fenton says she wants to make swimwear for larger womenFounder Sarah Fenton says anyone is welcome to join the group, which swims daily along the Bellarine Peninsula on Victoria's coast.
"I had been wanting to find a swimming group for five years since we moved down to St Leonards," Gabrielle Schammer said."I said, 'Do you swim?' And she said, 'I swim with the Salty Bitches'.Ms Fenton said the name was inspired by her dog, Lucy — the "original Salty Bitch"."Salty Bitches sounded far better than 'The Ladies of Saint Leonards.
The group has also motivated Ms Fenton to start a swimwear line for curvy women and organise a charity event later this year.Even though the members are mostly women, Ms Fenton said "Salty Dogs" were always welcome to join too.
