10/11/2012 – Super Saturday World Record

Over 173 Bold & Beautiful swimmers !!

are excited to be at the beach

part of a Super Saturday Swim – what a fantastic turnout !! and on an overcast day too 🙂

Cloudy skies, but beautiful calm seas

Well at least until a little set of fun waves came through, taking the procrastination of getting wet right out of our hands 😉

Anna and Deb enjoying playing otter

As everyone gathers perfectly at the point – join the pink dots 🙂

Richard tries the blue suit

but Bruce know’s the only colour is pink 🙂

Sharon’s enjoying a gentleman’s sandwich with her favourite boys

and Jules M is just happy to be back in the swim now her eye has healed 🙂  Great to have you back Jules.

Then it was straight from the swim to be part of Guy Leech’s World Record for the largest fitness circuit.  Collectively we smashed it, with a new world record of 1335 !!  Well done Guy and everyone who worked hard to make this happen and to everyone who got behind it and took part this morning.  Great fun 🙂

30 minutes of exercise in our pink caps the whole way.

With plenty of support on the sidewalk, Candy, one of our swimmers enjoying being an all important volunteer for the event.

Finishing with a photo with the world record holder herself, 7 time world champion surfer Layne Beachley, proud to be part of the pink caps 🙂

More great photos of B&B working it out from Sharon
