About | Nick Brook & James Nosworthy

 

Nick Brook

Nick is a true waterman, bringing a treasure trove of expertise as a swim teacher, surf instructor, and dive professional. His aquatic adventures span the globe, from gliding through the vibrant waters of the Great Barrier Reef to riding waves in Central America, exploring underwater worlds in Europe and Asia, and diving deep into the Pacific. A former Gold Medallion-holding patrol captain with Palm Beach SLSC, Nick now dedicates his skills as a Bronze Medallion volunteer patroller at Avalon SLSC. His passion for the ocean is matched by his competitive spirit, as seen in his impressive participation in "big swims" events along the northern beaches and Runswim Australia Sydney competitions. In June 2024, Nick took on a monumental challenge and triumphed, completing the 7km Megisti swim event from Greece to Turkey—a true testament to his unwavering endurance and love for the water.

James Nosworthy

James is a seasoned professional with over 30 years of experience in crafting bespoke group tours and events. His extensive portfolio spans successful ventures not only in Australia but also across North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, showcasing his ability to manage complex international projects with creativity and precision.
Highly regarded in Australia’s agricultural, food, and farming sectors, James has spent years leading groups and delegations to destinations worldwide. He has collaborated with notable figures, including the legendary RJL 'Bob' Hawke, the Australia II crew, and sporting icon Lord Ian Botham, demonstrating his strategic vision, professionalism, and talent for creating impactful and memorable events.
A dedicated member of the northern beaches community for the past two decades, James has actively volunteered with the Avalon Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) and is a Bronze Medallion holder. James regularly competes in major ocean swims across Sydney and interstate, embodying his passion for swimming and his commitment to both personal and community pursuit


Where possible both Nick and James begin their day with a refreshing ocean swim, valuing the sense of freedom and vulnerability it provides. Training daily with the Rockie Beach crew.

 

The Rockie Beach Sports Club

In 2016, Nick and James co-founded the Rockie Beach Sports Club—a vibrant swim group that embraces the ocean daily. The group meets at the back of the Avalon Beach sea pool for 500m–1km ocean swims every weekday morning at 7 am. No wetsuits are required, and swims continue year-round, pausing only for hazardous surf conditions. True to their adventurous spirit, Nick and James encourage members to think beyond the pool and immerse themselves in the beauty of the ocean.
