56 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A fun and friendly wave at Manly this morning. A couple of great photos from Stephen including this lovely early panorama The underwater visibility isn’t great but it doesn’t deter from a great swim with lots of laughter… There was a decent rip as you headed back to shore especially...

76 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A nice wave at Manly this morning ensured we all got wet quickly 😉 What with the full moon and the high tide at 9.30 there was soooo much water moving around, especially with all the backwash across the bay making it a real roller coaster of a swim. Dave...

Over 62 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. There were plenty of waves rolling in and lots of water moving around, but it was mild compared to yesterday.  There were actually even some fish out there braving it with us this morning too. Terry zoomed past people on the way back to shore as he caught the...

Over 56 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A misty morning with big seas and what a swim… A handful of experienced surf swimmers went out from Manly through the big waves and I don’t think many, if at all any came back in that way, so enough said about that 😉 The rest of us sensible...

Over 45 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. It was a beautiful sunny, calm swim in the harbour this morning albeit it with very little visibility under the water.

72 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. What a swim for the last official Bolderdash of the summer… the four guys who braved the dark were rewarded with more darkness as they neared Queenscliff.  The water turned brown and the visibility reduced to arm length so they turned a little short, fair enough too. As you can...

62 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Whilst most people were still snuggled up indoors we were all feeling very chuffed with ourselves that we had got up and at it.  Rain, hail or shine you never regret it once you’ve finished.  It’s always worth getting out of bed for even on these dreary mornings 🙂 The...

55 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. 5 swimmers enjoyed a reasonably calm Bolderdash this morning, it would have been dark though what with the later sunrise and the cloudy skies. Even on these miserable days we still get new swimmers, welcome to our three first timers today. Everyone was trying to stay dry for as long...

82 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A few swimmers checked out the conditions for us with a bonus early lap into Shelly this morning, and whilst there was a nice wave off the beach most of the time, the rip was a little further away from the rocks than usual and occasionally a decent set of...
