B&B Attendance Login App
Come on folks – there are so many good reasons to use the B&B Login App. No queues, no need for glasses so you can find your name, and it is eco friendly. With the aim of becoming carbon neutral the B&B Login App reduces our paper consumption. Log your swim between 5am and 9am for the easy way to ensure your swim is recorded in the daily attendance and on the Pacific Challenge.
To get started, send an email to Ian Forster (ugoboyo@gmail.com). He will check that your email address is activated on the attendance register then send you info on how to get started. Happy clicking.
Summer badge swims
Every Saturday during summer there will be a 6km swim – usual route is to Freshwater and back; then once a month there is a 10km swim – this is to South Curl Curl and back. However, the final route depends on conditions that day so it is a good idea to arrive a little early to have a briefing from the designated swim leader. Both swims kick off at 7am.
The next 10km swim is scheduled for 11 January depending on conditions.

Great, fun blog Snorkles. Loved the photos of Brendan’s party. Toni’s hair really suits Brendan! Well done on your Bolderdash and the photos of it are beautiful. Great to see kids swimming with their parents!

Great photos and blog. LSA is so generous with her swimming and leading new bolder dashers to Queenscliff and beyond. We are so lucky to have her and other generous swimmers in BB. Thank you! Also glad there was no sound recording of the ‘coaxing’ at Half Way today.

Yes Elizabeth, I thought we didn’t need the full unedited version ….although the gentle coaxing worked!

Great blog I like the photos from Brendan’s party! Nice to see I made it in it without swimming. See you all tomorrow!

Hmm.. 63 out of 241 ticked electronically. That’s an app penetration rate of 26.14%.
Good improvement but still shy of the 28% target I had in mind for today. Mind you, we had 29 newbies. So if you discount for those, we’re looking at normalised app penetration of 29.72%.
Still, we can do better!
Alex, Anna, Bruce, Sparkles, Corinne.. disappointed!
Great blog Snorks!

Rainer I read the blog you wrote yesterday. So funny! Sharon, I like the speech bubbles. I think I should start swimming more on Sundays.

Yes, the speech bubbles follow all the Sunday swimmers. It is the best day of the week!

Brendan strangely makes a very attractive blonde woman!! Who’d have known!?!
Agree Lips – I was most horrified to see so many of our long time regulars still TICKING!
I accosted Alex this morning with pen in hand and he assured me that he will start tomorrow as he was too hungover to ‘app on’
