Friday 30 June 2017 EOFY and WWW

Happy Friday. Happy end of financial year.

WWW – possibly the most recognised acronym in the world – yes winter without a wetsuit or winter with a wetsuit ! I have also heard other versions of what the acronym stands for too but these are the main ones. And here are some swimmers who agree with me:

Early ones

The temp is dropping but still ok.

There was celebration in the air today

– Ian is back

Greg Marinan swam alongside Sue and suddenly today he marked 1000km!

Thanks for the photo Lisa Boyle. It is a classic

Well done Greg

As well as the celebration of a Friday swim

Ross brought Josh today. Good idea to swim Josh – see you again soon. I had my first swim on 30 June 2012 so today I celebrate 5 years with BB.

Steve provided an action shot – too busy getting ready for a swim to pose!

Here is Sue celebrating Greg’s 1000km

The A team celebrating that 2 of them are here to swim today
