What a chilly ‘wintery’ morning! Air temp was around 14… water 19.1…but we still had 105 swimmers (including 2 newbies) turn up!
Old and Bold or Nippers …or both?
This guy got in the way of my nice beach shot! 😀
Storchy’s bootcamp…
Some nice waves to go out on…

Bombs away!

Anita (on the left with Michelle) dumps her flippers for the FIRST time in FOUR years!! That’s gotta be tough! Well done Anita!
Great skies!
Laurel and Hardy doing their routine 🙂
Despite ‘above’ looking so dark and ominous …

Despite the ‘cold’ and dark skies it was I feel a great swim!!
Signing off Lesley
I noticed a comment from Dunstan the swim coach was blocked accidently the other day so I am adding it here because it sounds interesting!
B&B’s Annual Fundraising Dinner proudly supported & sponsored by The Steyne Hotel …
** UPDATE only 5 spaces left**
Tuesday 12th November from 6.30pm!
Tickets are payable at time of booking – $25 per head includes dinner
As you are aware B&B is a free for all activity, but there are ongoing costs that need to be met. To help support B&B to keep it the wonderful, inclusive, growing phenomenon that it is please support this dinner proudly supported and sponsored by The Steyne Hotel.
It promises to be a fantastic night with great food, wonderful company, along with the screening of a compilation of fabulous videos taken by one of our super talented swimmers, Mauricio Fuentes, of B&B swims both above and below the water.
Unfortunately the screening of the B&B Documentary, filmed by Naomi Fryer, will not be able to be shown at this function as post production will not be completed in time. It will however, be shown at a future B&B function.
To ensure you don’t miss out, secure your spot now by purchasing your ticket here now.
There will be a sensational live auction too, with stunning original art work up for grabs by our very own Jenny Knapman. Typically her works sell for around the $1200.00 mark! Below is a photo of the beautiful painting that Jenny is donating!

Loved the booty camp photos. What a disobedient mob they are!
It was good to have some clear water to swim in again this morning.
Hip hip hooray for Laurel and Hardy – champions!

Some great, ‘dramatic’ photos Lesbubbs. I didn’t feel the cold after Storchy’s Boot Camp! It was great, thanks Kelly who led it today. Hope my old camera works for blogging tomorrow as my new one let in water today. Hope Bing Lee exchange it. See you tomorrow folks. The weather’s looking good for a Thursday swim 🙂
