There was a strong looking surf today with waves and wind all over the place. Some early swimmers only had a paddle at Manly beach and some returned via the walkway. That’s always a sign that the regular 7am group needs to consider options. A big group gathered today at the club and pondered endlessly...
Welcome to the end of the week everyone. And then start some of the organising for Christmas: all the shops are getting busy, roads and traffic are going haywire and presents need to be bought. Just 2.5 weeks left. The sky was a bit grey and cloud today, seaweed still piled up on the sand...
Where better to spend hot sunny summer Christmas Days than our very own Manly Beach and in particular swimming from Manly to Shelly and back. A lot of people have ditched the wetties and the ugly Christmas rashies are starting to make an appearance. An no its not reindeer in the water – flippers make...
Morning all and what a sensational day. Apart from some seaweed in close, the water temps were over 20 degrees at last and conditions were excellent for all those tuning their personal bests.

A warm day but quite a strong swell and – gasp – occasional big waves. A beautiful morning for swimmers to enjoy and here they are enjoying it a bit of a sense of the swell Dorsett got a cut to better fit his BB cap and Michael is admiring it. Maybe he will...
