85 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
More superb conditions with beautiful flat, clear water which is teaming with marine life and lots of happy, smiling faces.
We were joined at the point by what I believe is another new fish this morning which you can see in the last photo. There were four of them cruising around together. Jane / Gaetan any idea of what they are please ???
8 people had a lovely early Bolderdash swim up to Queenscliff and back this morning and 2 people enjoyed an early lap to Shelly and back.
4 lovely early photos from James Goins followed by two photos of the regular swim; tops and bottoms, courtesy of Stephen Coulter.
Make the most of these ideal conditions and come and join us for an early 5.50am 3km Bolderdash swim to Queensie and back in the morning. Come on, don’t be shy, you will be in great company.

Wow very cool Julie, i saw those fish on sunday but could not get close enough to take a photo. I remember they looked funny with their double chin.
They looked like some kind of leather jackets to me the way they were swimming but not sure.
Actually looking on Ausmus website, looks like this one, at least the double chin

Oh yes a breeze… not worthy doing, there must be something challenging on the calendar ?!
I’m a little achy to tell the truth but pretty happy that I busted a calorie or three

Just wanted to thank Gaetan, James, Jules, Tim, Stephen and all the other photographers. I work with the elderly , have been sharing our B&B photos and videos with them. They are truly amazed, it brings such joy to their lives. I’m often asked “what did you see today? and “how big was it?” So nice of you guys to share so we can spread the joy. THANK YOU !!!!
Keep em coming.
Super swim this morning
