28 Stalwart Bold & Beautiful swimmers ventured out for a swim after a weekend of non-stop rain.
A dramatic sky at dawn with the sun desperate to shine through, beautifully captured by Gaetan.

A dolphin lept right out of the front of a wave just before we set off making it all very exciting.


In fact it was so spectacular some of us thought we had better leave him to enjoy the waves so we went round to half way beach 😉

For a leisurely swim to Shelly followed by a group hug for Alyson as she’s sad to be leaving us tomorrow for a 3 week work trip to Germany. It should be true winter swimming by the time you return Alyson 😉

Despite this beautiful weather we’ve endured, whoops sorry for the typo I meant enjoyed over the last few days, nearly 300 individuals have swum at least once in the last 12 days and 3 people have swum everyday of winter so far… check out who here
