80 Bold & Beautiful swimmers enjoy a magnificent swim this morning

The sun was oh so bright, even at 7 o’clock in the morning that Lesley’s flippers were doubling up as a sun visor

Seems flippers has many uses… helping Sandy with her morning’s stretches too
Not a cloud in the sky

Or in the water come to that. It was beautifully clear !!
Some of this morning’s delights included these two cray fish shells


A lovely large stingray

and multiple leather jackets
All for Sue’s first swim back



and for Lee and Max’s last, as they are both off on holidays for a couple of weeks


Some more great photos from a spectator’s perspective this morning, thank you Heather.






As well as some lovely close up shots from Simon

As you can see from Joan’s photos below, James Pittar’s 20km swim was a huge success yesterday, thanks to everyone who supported him. James amazingly arrived at Shelly Beach, 18km into his swim, exactly at the time he predicted and was joined by 40+ swimmers for his final 2kms up to North Steyne. James has raised a fantastic $7000 so far towards his $20,000 target for the Fred Hollows Association If you would like ot support James in achieving his fundraising goal, please click here

I didn’t see half those in the “James Pittar swim group-photo at Shelly” arrive yesterday at North Steyne – where did you all go??
I know Michael C forgot to turn left and headed to Freshwater or something?!?! ;-P
