I got some photos of swimmers going in at South Steyne before I went off to Shelly. Tricky entry for me today

Home is where the heart is, so the saying goes. Soaking up the vibe of the spiritual home. Travelling the planet is a great reminder of the amazing privilege we have of being able to come to such a wonderful location pretty much for free and enjoy the ocean, the camaraderie and the great coffee...

Today I came down to the swim dressed for work rather than to get in the water, and it was actually quite lovely to be seen in a new light, rather than looking like some kind of sea creature that has been lying on the rocks before emerging from the ocean! 😂 Sometimes our schedules...

It was a little chilly in the water this morning, with the temperature sitting around 17.2°C. Definitely one of those swims where you know you’re going to feel it when you first get in! The conditions were also a little choppy, which made for a tougher swim than I’ve been used to lately. But the...

They haven’t gone anywhere, it’s just that we’ve moved on from winter.Expect some conditions like these mixed in with the ones we love. Alex and the Bishop. Alex is training for the World aquathon in Abu Dhabi. It’s a 5km run and 1k swim in hot conditions. Good luck Alex, that sounds tough! I asked Drinks...
