100 Bold and Beautiful Swimmers!!!
That’s 100 people swimming – can you believe it!! I am sure our numbers have doubled since last year?? 100 people swimming was a big day in the Summer on a WEEKEND!
186 have now qualified for their Winter Badge!
Winter Badge Ceremony will be held at Whitewater with a $10 brekkie straight after the swim on Sunday 9th Sept ! Everyone is welcome… Bookings are essential though for catering purposes, so please book here asap, thank you.
We had 5 newcomers today – we are getting so popular! Jalna always thrilled to be here 😉
A couple of our handsome calendar boys!
It was really warm getting into the sea today – especially with the waves crashing against us – made it so welcoming!! NOT – it was freezing..!!
As always Julie’s mum Joan supporting us from the sidelines!
Mucking about at Shelly…and off they go!!
Seaweed jungle – that’s all I saw!!
But the sun was shining on us pretty much all the way there and back now…and a great little wave to help us in…
There are a lot of Olympic medal winners connected with Manly!!
Below photo was sent to me – it was the ORIGINAL now famous Whale Photo – however for some reason Lil Sarah Abbott and myself were removed?? – here it is now as it SHOULD be – with us in it!! 😀
The top 4 best zombie pics from Monday night’s dinner! :-DD

Simon Cowell on holiday AGAIN – this time in Croatia! Last photo is amazing – inside one of the ancients pots he found was an Iphone! Un-believable!!
Another great swim! See you all tomorrow

You saw more than me this morning Lesley, all I saw the whole way back was Ann and Jenny.
It’s amazing how you and Lil’ Sarah were more interested in looking at the camera than the whale… 😉

Hi,
I have booked for the brekkie but did so on my mobile phone and I am not sure whether it went through or not. Should I have received a confirmation email?
Thanks!

Thanks Jules! That’s fine don’t worry, I just wanted to double-check that everything went fine. Quite excited about the brekkie as we’ve never been to Whitewater!
