Good morning! This blog will be short n sweet, as unfortunately there was only 4 babewatchers there this morning, limiting my content for the tuesday blogging..

What a difference a day or two can make.  From nice flat, clear swimming earlier in this week, this morning with the southerly change coming through yesterday swimming was a little sub-optimal.  And to top it off when I rocked up for my regular swim this morning the 6am bait – I mean swimmers –...

A lot of our friends may be away on holidays but us lucky swimmers who’ve stayed around Manly, have been swimming with sharks for a week! Such a privilege to share the ocean with these graceful creatures each morning. Elated swimmers have reported seeing up to 12 or more of them , just in ‘Let’s...

Ahh another Tuesday with Babewatch, and it seems we have newbies joining the joy that is ocean swimming every week! If you were new this week, you chose a perfect morning to get your dose of Vitamin Sea and experience the aquarium along the way. It was a lovely swim to recap this morning, with...
