Johnny and Robey Carter’s 2014 Ironman and Ironwoman Comp at Palm Beach - A Pittwater Summer Tradition
A classic Summer in Pittwater includes the return of the swimming instructors Johnny and Robey Carter. During the school holidays swim session at 7a.m. culminate in a Ironman and Ironwoman carnival that’s as much for fun as it is to test out skills learnt by our youngsters.
How do people get in contact with Johnny if they want to get their children into a class?
Johnny: After 65 years people know to just turn up here and I’ll give them a time to come down after school for private classes. My daughter Robey is running the business now, she teaches up Newcastle way and comes down to help me. I stay here until Easter.
Joanne Seve has sent in a few of those who have honed their aquatic skills this week and then competed for some nice prizes!
