Encounters with early swimmers who reported a lovely swim today. Dave and Belinda

Philip gave a very glowing report of the swim.

look at all the feet racing for the water

What a beautiful site and sight

At the point I met Lee from the Inner West who like me gets up at 6 am to swim. Could not be a better start to the day

Caroline is not wearing a wetsuit because it is SO warm.
