5/12/17 Its still freezing!

Well from the look of Michael’s face you can see that its still freezing, 18.1 today and the air temperature was only 19 degrees.

There was plenty of rubber out today and I even saw someone with a bottle of hot water.

(Its December?)

Michael still looked cold at Breaky even after a hot drink & food!

Nice surf today, lots of long boarders having fun in the waves.

Plenty of rubber in use today, happy pic of some of our swim buddies.

Vincent Dave & Tim, ready for some A Team action.

Michael & John looking good after the 6.30 express!

My happy Benches getting ready, no rubber there I see! (Maybe too early?)

It was clear and smooth and really not that cold. Always refreshing at Manly.

Have a great day :))

Summer badges;

As the Summer long distance swimming season approaches, management thought that it would be a good time to clarify what it takes to earn a badge. Three long distance swims are on offer:
· The 6 km swims are held every summer Saturday morning generally starting with the 7 am swim. The first 6 km swim will be on Saturday 2nd December.
· There is a 10 km swim once a month over summer also generally starting with the 7 am swim. Dates for these will be announced in the blog. The first will be on December 16th.
· If these swims are too long for you, you can try a Triple Manly to Shelly swim any day during Summer (distance 3.5 km) from 6.30 or 7 am.
You will earn a badge if you complete these swims and log them in iLog. The system will only record authorised 6K or 10K swims that are logged on the appropriate days. Badges will be presented at the Summer Badge Ceremony in March. If you are unsure of the routes and protocols for these swims, please ask at the desk before you swim. When swimming these longer distances, we request that, for safety reasons, you stay with the group. We also request that you do not swim in dangerous conditions. The quest for a little cloth badge is not worth putting your life at risk.
Enjoy your swimming.
