Several times this morning I heard people reflect how lucky we are to have the great place to swim and such a good group wit swim with. If you have been thinking of starting or getting back in to it, don’t hesitate. Just come on down any day and have a swim. Mark Bruce and Reg did as they do every day. I am always happy to hear their reports of the early swim but do wonder whether they ever sleep.

If you have a moment today, spare a positive thought fr my mum who had a brain tumour removed yesterday and is doing well for a 78 year old in intensive care. I know I will cope better with a swim on board and hope to radiate positive energy to her.
ARE YOU TIRED OF BEING TOLD AT THE END OF THE BLOG NOT TO SCARE YOURSELF SILLY?
WELL THE ACTUAL SILLY SEASON IS HERE AND YOU CAN ENJOY SOME FUN SILLINESS AT THE CHRISTMAS PARTY
B & B Fundraising Christmas Party
The B & B Christmas Party will be held on Tuesday 8th December at 6.30 pm in the Moonshine Bar (2nd Floor) at the Steyne Hotel. All swimmers and partners/friends are welcome (no under 18s unfortunately). The theme again this year is simply “Christmas”. So come dressed in your finest Christmas paraphernalia. No need to be shy as we will have the whole bar to ourselves. Finger food will be provided by the Steyne, and drinks will be at bar prices. Lots of fun and dancing are guaranteed, with music by our own band “The Troubadors”, who have generously agreed to perform free of charge for us on the night. The cost is $10 per head, with all proceeds going to the running costs of the B&B. But that’s not all. Our charity partner, the Royal Far West Children’s Home, will be running a monster raffle on the night, so please come prepared to support them. Bookings are essential. Book HERE now! Don’t miss out on this fun event, numbers are limited.
Something Special
At the Christmas Party, we will have a fantastic lucky door prize – a Swiss made Australian OceanMoon watch valued at $490 – donated by Bausele Australia. To celebrate the occasion, Bausele will give a 15% discount to all Bold & Beautiful swimmers who purchase a watch on their website. To see their range of watches go to https://www.bausele.com/ehome/, and to activate the discount, just enter the discount code BAB15 when purchasing a watch. Not only that,Bausele will donate 15% of the value of each and every sale on this code to the Bold and Beautiful. The Oceanmoon watch is ideal for ocean enthusiasts like the B&B swimmers, and features advanced ocean technology including water resistance up to 200m, moon phase, tide display and a 40mm face making it unique in its tracking of the Southern Hemisphere Lunar phase and tidal movements.
Lots of swimmers

Elizabeth I hope your mum recovers well. And sorry I missed the photobomb opportunity. No arches today, but I reached the not-so-mini milestone of 250km. Yay for Friday.
