Thank you all for your input. It does seem the consensus is that it remains a risky idea. @Anthem24, thank you for sharing your perspective. As someone new here, I appreciate the opportunity to learn from this community’s experience. My intention was simply to gather practical advice, and I hadn’t considered how asking might inadvertently make matters of safety worse. If you have suggestions on how best to approach these kinds of questions for future posts in a way that benefits everyone and while minimising risk, I’d love to hear them. Thank you again for your understanding and your guidance.

Thanks. My feeling is the same. hoping to hear enough positive experiences to instil some confidence. guess it will be limited Gear to take with or swim with in a dry-bag.

Hello I'm keen to ride to Silver Mine Dam, swim the dam then ride/ run from there as part of a training routine. I had noticed on one Occassion, about a year ago, that there were some people doing just that. They were sporting pretty decent bikes too and were not locking them while they swam. They told me they did it often and never had an issue. A one time 1min chat does not fill me with enough confidence to leave my bike while I swim just yet, unlocked or locked, though this would make for a near optimum training routine given my location. I would appreciate any feed back from people who have actual experience doing this. Many Thanks.
