It was a small group of B & B swimmers today. The water was calm and clear, and the colours were beautiful.
Some people say we are CRAZY, well…
C – can anyone describe how positive the energy of the swimming tribe is?
R – raining it was, but that added to the atmosphere, as this the thunder & lightening!
A – an advantage of small groups, is nobody bumps into you at the point
Z – zippers on those wet suits were going up!
Y – yahoo, yes it was definately worth getting out of bed!
Small group braving it today only 50 of us.
Wonderful colours and offshore waves.
All of us at 630.
Just for the record. Air temp 10 degrees, but the ocean was 17.7 degrees C
No John today….Ian had to do the temperature honours.
Nic & Steve, great smiles to brighten our morning.
Lainey Loo skipping along the beach to warm up.
Martin on his way back from the 630 swim.
Michelle and Martin first day back from Mexico…. with Annie.
And Lainey and Dorset jumped into the frame.
Its always great to swim with friends and have an adventure before breakfast.
Have a great day, stay warm, Jenny :))

Jen, you’re a star blogger. Showing up for duty no matter what!
Nice enough swim this morning, except for the foul odour around the point.
