69 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A very misty start to the day, in fact it was quite a mystical morning. The water was lovely though and Roberto Suares saw a turtle at the Bower – beautiful !

44 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers. 9 people did the early swim this morning, and as the pike fish (namely Michael Chistie and myself) walked along the walkway at ~6.40am we watched a pod of dolphins swim right past the early swimmers as they were half way back. It was a god job the pike...
