31/5/16 Last Day of Autumn

Swimming through schools of fish today.

Water temp was a warm 20 degrees, air temp was a chilly 11 degrees.

Lots of pipefish today.

Shelly the turtle was swimming around the bay with Ian. (sorry no pic of Ian or Shelly)

Loads of colour under the water.

Above the water it was a little grey.

A good way to start the day, but I must say its getting harder to get out of bed.

Lucky we have winter badges to motivate us from tomorrow onwards.

*B & B Trivia Night*

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 and keep it the wonderful,
inclusive, growing phenomena that it is we will be arranging a fund-raising
Trivia Night at The Steyne Hotel on Tuesday 12th July. Please keep this
date free so you can come along. In order to make this event a success, we
are asking for:

– volunteers to assist in the organisation of the event
– donation of goods and or services that can be used as auction items or
raffle prizes

If you can assist with either of these can you please contact John Kelly (
jmk@balancemanagement.net.au).

*Winter Badge*

It’s nearly that time again. Winter is coming … and so are the winter
badges. The winter swimming season runs from 1 June to 31 August, and to
qualify for your winter badge, you must:

– swim at least 20 times during this period
– swim in at least 7 different weeks
– log your swims

To qualify for the WWW badge (winter without wetsuit) you must complete all
of the above without wearing a wetsuit or any other form of bodily thermal
enhancement (don’t forget to check the “without wetsuit” button on the log
in screen). Why not give it a try? Any questions – email Ian (
