Another gorgeous swim in calm, flat water at least down at the Southern end of the beach 🙂

A touch of equipment failure this morning… nothing to do with all the frivolities of your recent wedding and honeymoon I’m sure Emily 😉

Welcome back to Philip who visits us regularly from Townsville, it’s great to see you as always 🙂

Lori, Jenny and Anna all making their point at the point 😉

The skies might be grey today but our smiles are bright 🙂

Water levels might just rise with all this water… Thanks for running back down in the torrential rain to takes these photos for us Sue.


Sandy was so ready for brekkie this morning she swam with a plate !

26 swimmers also enjoyed a lovely early swim; 6 up to Queensie and 20 into Shelly, all back in time to join in with the regular swim if they chose 🙂
8 swimmers also continued on for another lap after the regular swim as it was wetter out than in…
Where’s the horizon gone ??

We’ve organised for ‘The Orca Wetsuit Guru’ to visit Manly on the evening of Wed 16th May at 6.30pm. If you would like to come and try on an Orca wetsuit at that time please let me know and I’ll let you know where it will be. Thank you

I think we need to get Tony Abbott to join us one morning… this time in PINK budgies haha. Sounds like he’s gotten a little out of swimming shape since his Ironman in 2010
