67 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Ben Hutt, Collie Kinsela, David Adams, Gaetan Guilhon and James Goins came down early for a swim to Freshie and back but the sand had turned blue and red from jellies so they went over to the harbour for what you can see from James’ photos below, was a beautiful...

96 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A few dusty appearences but a great turnout with high levels of motivation for a 6km Saturday Summer Badge Swim this morning which was remarkable after dancing the night away last night 🙂 Unfortunately the blue bottles soon changed most people’s priorities to coffee. But not Brendan Maher, Collie Kinsela...

90 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. 24 swimmers enjoyed a lovely Bolderdash this morning including the four distance demons; Brendan Maher, Cae Toleman, Gaetan Guilhon and James Goins who joined us at Queenscliff headland for the return journey after they set off extra early for their Freshie extravaganza, perfect water for it too. Some gentle revenge...

33 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Unlike some… 😉 Brendan, Cae, Gaetan and James were not deterred by the rain… as they hit the water at 5.30am and swam to Freshie and back before joining the rest of us at the point for a remarkably pleasant swim to Shelly and back. The water was nicer than...

88 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A great turn out of 21 swimmers for a fantastic Bolderdash this morning, with a nice group huddle under Queensie headland.  Congratulations to Peta Saunders and Sophie Coombes who participated in their first Bolderdash. The Shelly swim was beautiful too with the water really starting to clear, as you can...

51 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. This prolonged chilly ‘summer’ water and the cloudy skies are becoming a little too familiar… and seem to be encouraging everyone to stay snuggled in their doonas. There was relatively limited activity this morning including early with only 2 swimmers; Brendan Maher and Tim Holloway taking on the Bolderdash and...

51 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. 10 people braved the chilly water for a very pleasant, calm Bolderdash and were rewarded by a beautiful Wobbegong playing in the weed just off the point.  Gaetan Guilhon may have a better photo and hopefully a good video for us later this arvo 🙂 Thanks to Nick TB we...

84 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Lovely swim this morning with the water both clearing and warming !! There’s still a fair bit of non-stingy plankton around but sadly no plankton eaters as Michael had hoped for, but our good ole faithful Dusky Whalers, Wobbegong’s, a baby Port Jackson, lots of Flatheads and much much more...

130 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Gorgeous conditions this morning, with a flat, calm and very inviting ocean, well all but that damn temperature, which amazingly didn’t deter 21 swimmers from setting off on our first 6km summer badge swim for the season which ended up being the most circuitous route I think we have ever...

73 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers. 22 people enjoyed an overcast Bolderdash with a couple of unpleasant surprise blue bottles at North Steyne and a bit of swell to keep it interesting off Queensie headland. Conditions are improving nicely, the regular Shelly swim was beautifully calm with the water clearing 🙂 Good news is it...
