108 Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
Blue skies, lots of sun and positively barmy water temperatures for this morning’s slightly knobbly swim 😉
Unfortunately we had a touch of equipment failure so apologies for the lack of photos. Thankfully however, we have this pretty photo from Fifi 🙂
3 swimmers enjoyed an early lap up to Queensie at 6 and 20 people (wow) enjoyed a bonus early lap into Shelly at 6.30 !!
A few of our swimmers including Anna and Fifi saved some of our fishie friends this morning by bringing ashore lots of flotsam and jetsam 🙂
Thankfully we also have some of Stephen’s fabulous photos taken during yesterday’s swim 🙂

We have a fantastic 4 day long weekend to look forward to, so plenty of time to enjoy some longer swims if you choose, conditions permitting of course. If not well it will just have to be longer coffee’s 😉
Please see Alex and Brendan’s comments from yesterday regarding an opportunity to keep Ben company as does some on both Friday and Saturday morning as he pumps out some distance as part of his training for the English Channel in September.
Also how about joining Collie and Iain in the 24 hour megathon swim for MS on 23rd June. It would be fantastic to have a whole team of B&B participate…. !?!?!

I am needing some photos to use in my art practice, for painting and illustration inspiration. Does anyone object to me stealing pics from here? Jules? Stephen?
I also need a/some friendly helpers to take shots and pose underwater, possibly on saturday after the swim. Or whenever suits. May involve wearing a dress. If anyone is interested, contact me here, or via f.a.edmonds@gmail.com
thanks
Fifi.

Thanks Jules, I am flexible but seems either right after the swim would be best, otherwise folk will be in dry clothes. But Thats ok too. I can actually do any morning after friday for the next five days or so. Have had my camera repaired and hope to get some good shots of floating/swimming persons wearing items of clothing.
All finished works will certainly be shared.

Have a great day Paige. It’s a shame that discarded materials(see photos) makes its way into our waters. Thanks Anna and Fifi and others who helped in the collection.
