28/08/2012 – Tickled Pink

101 Bold & Beautiful swimmers

were tickled pink to find the water has warmed up and there were no stingy things out there with us for this morning’s magical swim.

Yeh, a perfect morning for Julia to make her come back post baby Lucas 🙂

 

 

 

Luitz is pretty happy to be back in the water too, or is it because his Mother-in-law, Midge was one of 5 who qualified for their badge today 🙂

Along with Francois, who brought his friend, Henrique along for his first swim to celebrate the occasion 🙂  Welcome to all 5 of our first time swimmers this morning !

6 swimmers enjoyed both the beautiful dawn lap and a double afterwards, with Mechelle completing all 3 to celebrate qualifying for her badge today 🙂

180 swimmers have now qualified, plus it’s still in reach for another 21.  Please click here  to see how you’re going, don’t miss out now !

 Winter Badge Ceremony will be held at Whitewater with a $10 brekkie straight after the swim on Sunday 9th Sept !  Everyone is welcome… Bookings are essential though for catering purposes, so please book here asap, thank you.

Alyson and Elaine have no problem finding the point of it all

 

 

Rainer only has one swim to go to get his badge

and there’s at least one swimmer getting a big kick out of it all… 😉

 

 

Another top morning had by all.  More of the same great conditions again tomorrow, so see you then 🙂

A reminder that it’s Collie’s last swim with us this Saturday before he leaves to take on the English Channel solo   !  Because he’s now in taper mode he’ll be able to join us for
breakfast too 🙂  So please come down to farewell Collie (below right) and wish him the very
best of luck !! 🙂

Ben (above left) will be following ~3weeks later when we will have a farewell good luck swim and brekkie for him too.

It’s Father’s Day this Sunday so what better excuse for you Dad’s to get your children to come down and join you for a swim, or maybe even for you children to get your Dads to come down !!  All Dad’s get a 10 second head start for this one day only 😉

As always we had a fantastic night at Bluewater last night, thank you to all the great staff !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next monthly B&B special $20 dinner is on Monday 24th September, bookings are essential so please book in here. Dinner will be $20 a head including….. so the staff get a little thank you from each of us for such a great night 🙂

Happy birthday to Peter Bowes today 🙂
