It’s known that when you put yourself in a different environment, new genes are turned on throughout your body. These genes encode proteins that are the building blocks for a different version of yourself. A you that you’ve had the potential to be all along, but haven’t yet met. These shifts in genetic potential, or phenotype, are determined by many factors. Not the least being our unconscious and conscious perceptions.
With this understanding we can identify the true importance of considering new years resolutions… It’s another opportunity to draw a line in the sand at which to invite change. The more we do this the more of ourselves we will meet.
Of course, you’re welcome to draw that same line in the sand every morning before you begin your swim. A threshold moment where upon to invite more of your potential to become known.

After a long time in storage the Manly SLSC bell was re-installed this morning…

As the Summer long distance swimming season approaches, management thought that it would be a good time to clarify what it takes to earn a badge. Three long distance swims are on offer:
· The 6 km swims are held every summer Saturday morning generally starting with the 7 am swim. The first 6 km swim will be on Saturday 2nd December.
· There is a 10 km swim once a month over summer also generally starting with the 7 am swim. Dates for these will be announced in the blog. The first will be on December 16th.
· If these swims are too long for you, you can try a Triple Manly to Shelly swim any day during Summer (distance 3.5 km) from 6.30 or 7 am.
You will earn a badge if you complete these swims and log them in iLog. The system will only record authorised 6K or 10K swims that are logged on the appropriate days. Badges will be presented at the Summer Badge Ceremony in March. If you are unsure of the routes and protocols for these swims, please ask at the desk before you swim. When swimming these longer distances, we request that, for safety reasons, you stay with the group. We also request that you do not swim in dangerous conditions. The quest for a little cloth badge is not worth putting your life at risk.
Enjoy your swimming.
Sample badge from before:

The light is beautiful in photo #5.
As is the moment of graceful anonymity of the lone swimmer entering the water in photo #2. Gentle and pensive, it captures the spirit of your writing.
Thank you.

Thanks Paul,
Also notice the youth in photo #1. He is looking at the beach. Lower body is grounded and strong but upper structure shows resignation… As if an instant before committing to the journey.
