27/06/2012 – B&B Hits 3000 !!

75 Bold & Beautiful swimmers including our 3000th !!

Welcome to Bill Lumbergh who joined us this morning for the first time and as such is the 3000th swimmer to join in the fun and friendship – Whoooo Hoooo !!!!  Congratulations everyone – let’s celebrate 🙂

Every morning starts the same, come rain, hail or shine, you can always be assured of one thing at 7am in Manly; the pink parade… as sure as it is the sun will rise, the pink caps will be there 🙂

 

 

Sometimes it’s just enough you make you reach for the sky

But always it’s enough to make you smile

 

 

Even time for your morning stretch too

Plus there’s always a bonus, this morning’s was lots of laughs amongst a little wave and a golden glow as we swam back for the all important apres swim.

 

 

 

 

Love these head shots too… I guess there are bodies attached to them somewhere 😉

As always some of our swimmers enjoyed the water for a bit longer, some of whom swam the Colderdash to Queensie and others the pre-dawn lap into Shelly 🙂
