Welcome to the Dee Why Ice Picks Winter Swimming Club.
We are a community-based winter swimming club established in 1961 by both Dee Why Surf Lifesavers and devoted local surfers who realised the water in the Dee Why Rock Pool was just as inviting and invigorating in winter as it is in summer.
For over six decades, members of the Dee Why Ice Picks have taken the plunge every Sunday morning from Easter until the October Long Weekend.
At 9.30 am each Sunday, our members gather to contest 30-metre and 50-metre handicap races before adjourning to the Dee Why Surf Club for brunch.
Each year, the Ice Picks takes a contingent to the Australian Winter Swimming Championships as well as contesting the North Side Shield, an inter-club contest fought out by several other northern beaches winter swimming clubs and the Newcastle-based Merewether Mackerals.
New members are always welcome, so why not come down on a Sunday morning and join our band of hardy swimmers for some great fun, exhilarating swim races, and some great camaraderie.
The Dee Why Ice Picks is a proud sub-club of the Dee Why RSL Club.
