www.rottnestchannelswim.com.au 3 A message from Graham Kerr, CEO of South32

As one of Western Australia’s most iconic community and sporting events, South32 is honoured to sponsor the Rottnest Channel Swim again in 2021.

To us, the event symbolises everything that’s great about our State – our love of the ocean and life outdoors, fitness, adventure, mateship, and of course Rottnest Island – for many of us it’s a place filled with fond memories of time spent with family and friends over the years.

In past years, we’ve welcomed swimmers and paddlers from all over the world, making it a wonderful opportunity to showcase WA. Unfortunately this year, due to COVID-19, we’ll miss hosting our international visitors and treating them to everything our great State has to offer, but we hope to be able to welcome them back next year.

As a global company headquartered in Perth with operations in Australia, Southern Africa and South America, we are proud to continue our partnership with the Rottnest Channel Swim and supporting them to make this incredible event this possible. It also makes me incredibly proud to see two South32 teams taking part this year and I look forward to cheering them on.

Congratulations to everyone at the Rottnest Channel Swim Association and all the volunteers. It’s thanks to you that the swim happens each year, so that together we can help create healthier, stronger and happier communities.

To everyone taking part, good luck and stay safe. An open water swim of nearly 20 kilometres is no mean feat and I wish you well for this impressive endeavour. We look forward to seeing you again in 2022.

Graham

10 South32 Rottnest Channel Swim 2021 rottnestchannelswim.com.au 11 Dean Kerns’ was the first person to complete ten solo crossings in one calendar year, and by the end of 2019, he CHAMPIONS CHOOSE ENGINE had totalled a whopping 15 crossings in just 16 months. When looking at Dean’s list of achievements, you’d think that he’s been training his whole life for this. But his passion for open- water swimming only began five years ago, when he found himself at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital fighting for his life.

Kerns, husband and father of four, was spending time with his family one night in August 2015, when an incident occurred which perforated his bowel and had him hours away from death. He spent seven weeks in the hospital, with surgeons working around the clock to save him.

“They pulled out all of my organs, cleaned my skeletal bowl and repaired the bowel up. I walked away with just a scar down my torso and loss of strength in my core and lower back.”

In the same year, Kerns took up swimming after a friend had suggested it as a way to strengthen his core and lower back muscles. Completing two swims in the next two years, Kerns went on to join a squad coached my Ceinwan Roberts in late 2017. Kerns attributes his successes and love of the open-water to the group, saying that he never intended to get serious about out-of-event crossings, but after being surrounded by such a motivational group, he thought: why not BRAZILIA take things further? CROSS-BACK “Everyone in that squad is so inspiring, and they built each other up to do more and more. Our coach, Ceinwan, the only female that’s completed a triple crossing, she’s enthused everyone to do crazy things – inspiring us to do more every Superb Comfort, Fit & Wearability year.” Says Kerns.

Ideal for Surf or Pool Use From his first Rottnest Channel Swim in 2018 to the Catalina Channel in the U.S. the following year, Dean became the first Cross Back , Medium Cut, Good Bust Support person to complete 10 solo crossings in one year. Along with friend Adam O’Byrne, Kerns set out to achieve the first double- crossing in winter between Rottnest Island and the mainland Durable, Super Chlorine Resistant in June 2019 and declares it as his most memorable swim to date. This year, he took it a step further, by completing the double in all three winter months: June, July and August, all while sporting just a Speedo!

It’s hard to believe that the same man was in the hospital fighting for his life only 5 years ago, Dean says that since the operation he’s had something of a ‘Forrest Gump moment’. While he’s built up a serious list of feats over such a short period, his demeanour can only be described as humble and most definitely modest. When asked about his story, he gives all credit to everyone around him for pushing him forward, whether it be his coach and team, or his wife, Lauren, and his four kids. A Forrest Gump Moment “My wife is phenomenal; she is just rock solid. She can see that swimming makes me a healthier person, makes me a better Dad, makes me a better husband. I think anyone in life if WHY NOT SWIM TOMORROW... they’re a bit healthy and doing something they love they’re in a better mood.
