Today was one of those days when you’re glad you get out of bed for the swim. Conditions were wonderful, water was 17.5 degrees ( felt like 14.5 initially ) , the sun is out and there’s no stingers. A bit of seaweed still on the sand but I managed to avoid that by entering and exiting at halfway. Such is the lack of speed, if you want to make it in time for birthday splashes at Shelley, start very early or enter at halfway.
A nice little group of 170 today with four newbies. I stumbled upon Annie and Lisa enjoying the wall and a chat pre swim.
Welcome back to Carol who’s not swum alot during winter , with Pauline and Henrietta.
The view as I walk around to halfway, just as I like it:
Nicky exiting after her early swim, hopefully jumping right over the sea weed:
There were four birthdays today, Errol didn’t turn up and Steve ran late so only got to splash two people at Shelley: Richard and Melissa. Happy birthday to everyone today.
Melissa had her hubby Brian and son Joel swim with her today:
Richard , here with Danny on the left, of course got photobombed by two of the best posers in the group-Rainer and Lesley:
A few of us waiting for the main group to arrive, these two I caught splashing about after enjoying their first lap:
Gemma was nearly bent over with giggles from whatever Rainer was up to:
I found Steve after the swim with Teddy getting ready for breakfast:
The fish I saw today, a cute leather jacket and a sweet groper swimming back and forth:
I nearly stood on these two rays having a sleep!
I walked past a lady stopping to appreciate the blessings right on our doorstep, was a beautiful morning today:
Vincent and Scotty enjoying a chinwag at the boys benches:
Tickets for the xmas party which is on December 11, go on sale after the November swim dinner. Dinner is second Tuesday night of every month, watch this space for information.
Have a nice Thursday everyone.
Edwina.
