Sometimes it’s not the actual physical act of swimming that makes you so glad you got up in the dark and rain… It might be the chance to be uplifted by such a friendly bunch of people, see amazing marine creatures, get a work- out done before work… For me sometimes it just takes my...

Morning all and another cracker start to the day with small 1/2 metre swell and next to no wind from the south so perfect for the corner. Water was clearer than I have seen it for a while and with declining swell through to Saturday and westerly winds you can expect better days ahead as...

We’re back to normal. Moving on from yesterday’s filthy solstice shenanigans, we were able to go back to focusing on what’s really important:   A total of 254 appropriately dressed swimmers braved the morning chill and enjoyed stunning conditions in Cabbage Tree Bay. And how good was it seeing Andrew with his pants back on:...

Yes we’ve had a week of rain, doom and gloom but rest assured from today the days will get longer and we can start looking forward to Bondy’s summer swim program – not before we’ve all ticked off our 20 winter swims. This keen lot never rain or the cold get to them.  This morning...

   A few lucky swimmers got to swim with dolphins this morning. Richard Agius reported one swimming beneath him and there were a few elated early swimmers who had dolphins swimming alongside them! The 7amers watched from the shore. A few like Rozzy jumped in but got dumped by waves and missed out! This took...

It was a small group of B & B swimmers today. The water was calm and clear, and the colours were beautiful. Some people say we are CRAZY, well… C – can anyone describe how positive the energy of the swimming tribe is? R – raining it was, but that added to the atmosphere, as...

Is there a definite point where the ocean becomes blue? Or is it a ceaselessly flowing spectrum, a continuum from total clarity to darkest depths and return? Where every drop is connected to the whole. Where every drop has an ocean of space. And thus, where every drop that falls is able to rise again....
