Looks like Kerry is “singing in the rain” Such a pretty picture. There is a story behind her obviously “not swum today – Glamour look” I will let you ask her…
After the rough swim yesterday….it was all calm and clear (except for the rain) well, we were going get wet anyway!
Good to see there were 120 B&B’s who “won the battle with the bed” and were down at Manly “doing it”. Temp was 20.4 and we had 7 newbies!
This is JK and friends enjoying the rest at the point!

This is mother / daughter Louise and Alex, with a smiley B&B photo bomber! Great to see these fit ladies out there enjoying the swim together.
Couple of happy chappies who smiled for me!

Look how calm and beautiful it was today….
Enjoy your day, Jenny :))
B&B Notice Board
2016 Calendars
The 2016 B&B calendars are now on sale. Get your copy from Ian any day at the swim, or order online HERE. They make a great Christmas gift for family and friends, here or overseas. This year the calendars are even more impressive in a larger A3 format, all for the same cost as last year – just $15 each.
Parking
B&B members do not have permission to park in any car spot or bay that belongs to the surf club. Please adhere to this rule. There is plenty of parking in the Council car park at no charge to you.
Summer Badges
There are now three badges available for those swimming in summer:
# 1: Saturday 5 December kicked off the 6 km summer badge swims. These are on every Saturday during summer.
# 2: There is one 10 km swim in December, February and March 2015/16. The first 10 km swim was on Saturday 12 December. Watch the blog for details of the second 10 km swim, to be held in February.
# 3: Our new badge, the Shelly Triple, involves a triple lap of Cabbage Tree Bay (i.e. swim to Shelly Beach and back to The Point three times – total 3.5 km). This swim can be completed any day and should be logged on the i-log system. Since this is designed for those who are unable (or unwilling) to do the longer swims, this badge is only available to those who haven’t completed a 6 km or 10 km swim during the season.
Staying safe
Remember that there are no badges for scaring yourself silly! While it is great to extend your boundaries, it is important to know your limits. Also, if you have a bit more experience, keep an eye out for new swimmers who might need company. Do read these excellent tips on staying safe in the surf. To read, or even download, click here.

Kerry must have been going on a hot brekkie date to risk not getting mud splashes on her white pants! I didn’t photobomb that newbie! It was Debbie who has wanted to swim with us for ages and came down from Castle Hill on a rainy day!

Maybe for days such as these you could get a
Wetbefore – Wetduring – Wetafter Badge ?
I’ve asked Kerry about her “not swum today – Glamour look” but no response as yet

No decent excuse Jenny – my day is always better when it starts with a swim so am regretting that decision! 🙂

I was wearing thongs (the Australian version) so fail the glamour test 😉

Hi Lainey, that’s right, I must have been having a nanna moment & forgot the detail- good on Debbie for coming from Castle hill on a rainy day to swim with us!

Well done Mary Barltrop. Nice bomb in 4th photo.
You’ve nailed the basics. I’ll move you up to the Advanced Group next week.
