MERMASC SWIM

Service Description

Mermascs is our social sea swimming and beach trip group. Mermasc meetups are all about connecting with wai, taiao and our beach-loving LGBTQIA+ community. Mermasc trips are about spending time in the water, making friends, and feeling great, rather than swimming laps. There's nothing like challenging queer-phobic and patriarchal expectations, in numbers! This group is open to all people, with a focus on queer and gender diverse folk, and communities typically excluded from mainstream fitness spaces. IMPORTANT: BOOKINGS ARE NOT REQUIRED. Instead, join our Facebook Messenger group chat via our Facebook group: "Radiqal Movement Members & Supporters". Disclaimer – although overseen by Radiqal Movement, MERMASCS is not an instructor-led activity. Group communication is made through our Facebook "Radiqal Movement Members & Supporters" group and group chat. If you are new to exercise, have any medical conditions or injuries, please ensure you have gained your healthcare provider’s clearance before attending. Although all due care is taken, you are participating at your own risk and must listen to your body at all times. Engage in swimming to how you are feeling on the day and to where you’re at within your own current level of fitness and confidence. We encourage you to have something to drink and/or eat prior to and after the meet-up. If you feel unwell or experience any unusual pain or discomfort, please seek assistance ASAP.
