Caroline Clements and Dillon Seitchik-Reardon took a year off work to test out places to swim all over Australia. Both love being in the water, and found swimming an incredible access point to Australian culture and identity.Caroline was the founding editor of Broadsheet, and produced cookbooks and produce guides for Broadsheet in Melbourne and Sydney. Dillon is an environmental scientist and has co-written gardening books for the Little Veggie Patch Co. Together they have written and photographed all entries in the book with contributions from Eugene Tan (aquabumps), Remy Gerega, Alex Kydd, Nikki To and Kate Berry.
