How did you view the swim today?
Some of us were … forward thinking:
… reflective:
… jumpy:
… taking one for the team:
… curious:
… communal:
… taking a different route:
… forging our own way:
… on edge / oarsome:
Whatever your outlook was today, when we think about the scale of wonder around us (for example, this star comparison is amazingly humbling), we place value on the things we have instead of what we do not. Swimming in the ocean with B&B helps me to put things in perspective.
Have a lovely weekend!

Staying safe
Remember that there are no badges for scaring yourself silly! While it is great to extend your boundaries, it is important to know your limits. Also, if you have a bit more experience, keep an eye out for new swimmers who might need company. Do read these excellent tips on staying safe in the surf. To read, or even download, click here.

Clever blog Anna with some beautiful photos. Great roly poly swim. Got my 5 bits of plastic rubbish today. Libby’s exhibition at Manly Art Gallery last night inspired me to try and collect at least 5 a day. Have a great weekend folks 😊

I love the reflections photo. Ian and Ali each had huge amounts of plastic they collected today. I could see the fish smiling in gratitude ( ok, anthropomorphising a bit)! Quite bumpy but nice today.

There is a great initiative called “Take 3 For The Sea”
Every time you swim, pick up 3 pieces of rubbish. The sea and birdlife will thank you.
Todays stats were 195.
That could have been nearly 600 pieces of rubbish today alone.
Actually I saw what Ian picked up today…I think he had 600 pieces of rubbish in his cosies!!!
