| dbo:abstract | The Brighton Icebergers or Brighton Icebergs are based at the Baths Health Club in Brighton Victoria, where they swim in the sea pool in the early morning, when the water temperature can be as low as 7 °C (45 °F). A larger contingent swims at the nearby Royal Brighton Yacht Club in the open waters of Port Phillip Bay, Their swims include a weekly Sunday 1.4-kilometre (1,500 yd) "inside no-brainer" alongside Middle Brighton pier, and have organized annual competitive events including the 2-kilometre (1.2 mi) John Locco Winter Invitational, the Greg Fountain Winter Pier to Pub, the Iceberger World Championship of the Bay Swim, and the Olsen Hooper Summer Handicap Swim, and awarded an Iceberger International Swimmer of the Year. The club's long-time organizer is former school teacher John Locco, elected to Brighton Council in 1984 when the Brighton swimming baths had been in danger of closing, and later served as Mayor as well getting into a fist-fight with Baths Manager Mark Greene.[1] He is said to have founded the club in the 1980s, but swims were already taking place in the 1950s. In 2015 the Royal Brighton Yacht Club caused a dispute by seeking to formalize governance of the Icebergers. * Brighton Baths Health Club, where the Icebergers swim * Inside of the Brighton Baths * The Royal Brighton Yacht Club near the Baths Health club * Brighton beach * Long term Icebergers organiser John Locco * Middle Brighton Pier outside Yacht club (en) |
