Over 187 Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
19 swimmers set off for a gorgeous early Bolderdash and were joined at Queensie headland by two of our distance deamons; Cae and Gaetan on their way back from Freshie.
‘Eveyone’s’ on holiday, it’s finally summer with beautiful blue skies, sun and tropical warm water 🙂
It’s hardly surprising we are having record turnouts for our morning swims at the moment with lots of first timers, welcome all !
It’s absolutely perfect for swimming right now. The ocean, especially our little bay is just beautiful with no stingers, calm warm seas and lots of friends to play with…
If you’re not swimming with us, you should be… 😉 It’s top of the pops !

23 degrees! Wow indeed it was so warm this morning! Sunrise was amazing, did not get a chance to stop and take a photo, Cae was swimming too fast, I would have never caught him up!
Currents were quite interesting, it took us 20min to do Queensie-Freshie and only 10min on the way back.
I’m definitely up for another Freshie swim at 5:25 or a Queenscliff swim at 5:50 tomorrow if anyone is interested!

Just seen Gaetan’s Fireworks video – fantastic, Gaetan. So glad you filmed it because I couldn’t find anything on TV or iView the next day. I’ll send it to my daughter in LA to make her homesick.
