BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM GROUP IS CURRENTLY NOT RUNNING DUE TO THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS(COVID-19). IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND FOLLOW PUBLIC HEALTH ADVICE.
Thank you for swimming at different times of the day and please continue to stay safe and remember to maintain 1.5m distance.
Betty the Badger says tomorrow is the last day you can put your stamped self addressed envelopes in the Badge Box. If you can’t make it to Manly tomorrow, please see the instructions at the end of this post.
Following the recent rough conditions and yesterday’s rain, I did not have high expectations for this morning but was pleasantly surprised.
Freddy was enjoying the warm sunshine………
while waiting for Ted
Veena spotted a cuttlefish and a pale PJ near the Point. Unfortunately I saw neither of these
Roz and Gayle pre swim
What is it about Belinda’s butt that warrants such scrutiny? David doesn’t want to know
Water temp was in the 16s this morning but hopefully we have turned the corner where the air is warmer than the water. The hardy WoWs mostly eschew wetsuits all year round.
More yellowtail that you can poke a stick at
Not sure what the next 3 are
Is this a puffer fish minus the puff?
Heading back to the car, Jacqui and I ran into this mob
McNaughty with some selfie silliness
What am I listening to? Lots! One of the benefits of working at home. Beats office banter most of the time
Winter Badge Collection 2020
Congratulations to all those who completed their Covid-19 winter swimming challenge. As we are expecting nearly 600 swimmers to qualify, the badge distribution this year will be different in order to maintain a Covid-safe environment for our volunteers. Unfortunately, only virtual handshakes and hugs from Ian, John, Anne and Pauline and contact-less distribution.
There are two ways you can obtain your badge(s)
- Place self-addressed, stamped envelope in the box provided outside the surf club between 7 am and 8 am any during the week, to Sunday 6th September, inclusive. Inside the envelope place cash for your badge/s – $10 per badge for the Covid Badge (if you completed 20 swims over winter) and an extra $10 for the Ice Cold Corona Badge if you did those swims without a wetsuit. Family members/friends sharing an envelope must clearly name each swimmer and badge achieved. Please check postage rates and size of envelope required for multiple badges.
- Post a self-addressed, stamped envelope with payment and swimmer details, as above to Ian Forster, 6 Bligh St, Northbridge. 2063.
Badges will be posted as soon as they arrive. If you have any other badges that you are missing and wish to purchase, please include cash for those as well.
Please Note: We will place a New Swimmer sheet and pink caps with the collection box so that any would-be swimmers can sign up and collect a cap.
