Felt like a bit of a peeping Tom using the zoom for this one. Rob doing some pushups in the middle of his second lap of the day I think, and in no wetsuit – I’m not sure I’ll ever understand some peoples energy levels.

 

 

Fishy out of water

 

 

Gayle had half way beach to herself

 

 

Almost a cracking view.

 

 

 

 

I expect numbers will be slightly down tomorrow after Christmas in July party tonight – enjoy

Winter swimming
The B&B Winter swimming season starts on 1st June. Although the water temperature may be a little colder than you might like, there are several advantages of swimming in winter, including flat seas, good visibility and no bluebottles. Perhaps the biggest advantage is that you can also qualify for a winter badge by swimming a minimum of 20 times between 1st June and 31st August. You must also swim in at least 7 different weeks. If you manage to do all of your qualifying swims without a wetsuit (or other thermal enhancing equipment), you will also qualify for the coveted WWW badge (Winter without wetsuit). Start now, and don’t forget to log your swims to qualify.
