Sunday sign-up

What a busy morning it was at Manly today, the place was buzzing with families enjoying the surf and a swim. Enjoying the last days of school holidays for many. A perfect morning, weather wise, for a swim to-day although a little choppy across the bay. Post swim Ian, John and Anne were busy at the benches greeting, signing up new swimmers and giving each a pink cap whilst selling the much loved silicon caps and past badges to the faithful. Lovely to see so many smiling faces, especially those who have been doing covid swims and haven’t connected with us in awhile. we love hearing from you and if you have friends swimming with you encourage them to sign-up and wear the pink cap. Newbies can join our BnB family by emailing Ian at ..ugoboyo@gmail.com
