The 112 swimmers that turned up today were treated to a spectacularly, clear, sunny morning.   The crispness of the air holds a hint of autumn, but the warming sun was most welcome as we gathered to shrug off the layers and head to the sea.      It was a little nippy getting in –...

Well just another day in paradise. The rising tide of swimmers was a slow to reach its peak today. Perhaps the diet of chocolate, Easter buns and good cheer has sent us into a sleepy phase. A chilly start as the gauge tells me it is 12 degrees, but thankfully our ever reliable Mr Bond assures...

With the changing season there are some people out there who start to slip a little deeper under the doona.  Not us! We laugh as the thermometer displays 11 degrees. . . Well at least 85 of us did today. The grey morning with rain out to sea has become a bit repetitive these past...

If you swam today, how amazing was that half hour or so?  What did you see?  There was so many sightings this morning; do let us know in the comments. We started with a very grey sunrise – but thankfully the rain held off.   The surfers were close to our patch ‘cause there were...

What a simply stunning morning to kick of April.  Can you believe that the water is warming up – 22.9 today!! Well dear readers and swimmers, our not so little swim squad has caught the attention of some serious movers and shakers.  Now if you are into day time TV, you may have seen or...

The weather report had prepared me for the worst.  Did you hear it to?  Unsafe conditions, driving rain, wind, heavy cloud cover. . . What greeted the 96 swimmers who made the pilgrimage to the meeting point was a mild moody morning.  About 16 – 17 degrees out and a comfortable 21.1 degrees in the...

We are told that being human we have the unique privilege of being able to make a choice from the options that life presents to us.  In the early morning, making these choices presents us with that other unique human attribute – dilemma!! The sun rise is always beautiful, and each one different.  Even today’s...

Today, 140 swimmers – that we know about – ticked, clicked and signed up for another stunning swim to Shelly and back. It is remarkable that even on a Tuesday well past the summer madness and all those new year resolutions have been forgotten, there were 6 new swimmers signing up today.   Even more...

Can you believe that it is the end of Summer?  As I write this wearing a fluffy jumper and socks, I reckon the weather has totally turned Autumnal. While the festivities of Summer may be over, you know there is always something going on with this mob.   Like the next Monthly Dinner which will be...

There were 100 swimmers out doing it today! Some started their warm up with a roll in the sand. Others hung around chatting and just being together.   Why togetherness?  Well, I’m indulging a little because it is three years since I began swimming with the B&B mob.  With two dear friends, I arrived wide-eyed...
