September 2025 - A Word From The President

It’s been fantastic to see such great morale across the club.

From BBQs to our regular post-swim coffee catch ups, the community spirit at SSG continues to thrive. These moments remind us that it’s the friendships and support that really make our club special.

Our swim numbers are growing strongly as we move out of winter and into our multisports season, with more members hitting the water at Suttons and enjoying the ocean together. It’s a great sign of things to come as the

weather warms up and both the swim and multisports calendars ramp up.

Yes — we are already working hard towards our Moreton Bay Swim 2026! Please

reach out if you would be willing to help in any way. We also want to strongly

encourage our members to register and take part in the event. This helps us

just as much as volunteering on the day, because seeing our own members out

there enjoying the event is what it’s all about. After all, what are we doing this

for, if not to celebrate swimming together as a community?

The date will be released shortly, and we are very close to officially opening

registrations. Stay tuned — it’s going to be another special day for SSG!

My Mission

Looking forward, one of my areas to grow is within our run and bike groups. I

want to build confidence in our members, helping people not only to turn up,

but to push themselves a little further each time (whether it be swim, bike, run,

gym ect.).

What might this look like?

• More structured swim, run and ride sessions.

• Opportunities for beginners to step in comfortably.

• Stronger group support so no one feels left behind.

• Celebrating the little wins as much as the big ones.

The question for all of us is: How can we drive this together? I’d love to hear

your ideas, and I’m excited to see what we can achieve as a club in the year

ahead.

See you out there,

Jodie Brighton

President, SSG Multisports
