Today’s blog is a 'dry blog' as I was unable to swim due to an ear infection! Never the less it was a beautiful morning to go for a walk and say hi to a few friendly faces!
The water temperature was recorded at 19.3, however, there were suggestions that it was warmer past the point. A few people did head North due to news of a few stinging friends towards Shelly.
Lucky to find a hook these days!!
Is this group bold and beautiful or what!? <3
These conditions made not getting into the water very difficult!!
As we come to the end of November, it is no doubt starting to feel like summer is near with fewer and fewer wetsuits and hot water showers in sight! What a year it has been! There are many exciting things happening over the next few weeks within the club!
Did someone say…
Christmas Party!!
Amazingly, our Christmas Dinner (8th December) has sold out in just one week. To be added to the waitlist, please email Ian at ugoboyo@gmail.com.
New Swimmers sign-up, Caps and Badges
On Saturday 28th November your B&B volunteer helpers will be at the benches (100 m north of the surf club, weather permitting) from 8 am until 9 am with a sign-up sheet for anyone who wants to sign up and start logging their swims. Remember, to be eligible for the Summer Badges, you will need to log your swims. Any new swimmers who have started swimming over the winter period are invited to sign up and get their free B&B latex cap.
In addition, if you haven’t got your winter badges yet, we will have a supply of this year’s winter badges for sale (Covid Challenge and Ice Cold Corona) at $10 each. We will also have the following items:
-
Silicone swimming caps ready for winter – $15 each (cash only please bring the correct money)
-
Latex caps (free) if you have broken/lost yours or have friends/family who have just started swimming
SUMMER SWIMS and BADGES
Due to government restrictions, this summer we will not be organising 6km or 10km swims or badges. Instead… we are offering the following badges:
-
Triple Manly to Shelly – swim 3x laps of Manly to Shelly Beach and back, any day during summer – distance 3.5km
-
Covid Summer Challenge – swim 30 times over 7 different weeks of summer
-
Corona Super Swimmer – swim 50 times over summer (check out the badge below)!
* Summer: 1st Dec – 28th Feb
You will earn and be eligible for any / all of these badges if you complete these swims and log them in i-Log
As for the winter swims, you can swim anywhere at any time to qualify, but if you don’t swim at Manly, you must log a Covid Challenge Swim.
Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!
