People say you cannot notice the changing of the seasons in Sydney. If you swim in the ocean, you can. Here we are approaching the last month of winter with its calm seas, dropping water temps and an increasing number of swimmers hitting 20 swims for their badge.   But lots enjoying the swim and...

Winter swimming!!! Yes it can be cold and you suffer from cold bottomitis during the day, but it also comes with its pleasures.  The water is nice and clear, it’s only your fellow loonies dedicated enough to get up in the dark and head down to Manly Surf Lifesaving Club and you get to see...

The community spirit of the BnB has really been highlighted for me over the last few weeks. With the sad passing of an old friend of the group and the recent health battle of one of our fellow WOWs. The love and friendship of the group has really made me feel warm inside knowing that...

What a morning, here we see our Tuesday Yogi’s stretching their lower backs, limbering up for the swim.   Perfect sunrise. Our WOW’s have so much fun. The info for the day. Hope you have a great day and get a chance to enjoy the sunshine. This is my McMahons Point Cancer survivors bootcamp enjoying...

Birthday Annie.     Booties.   Families. Sun.     They said, “call us the sexy ones!” Pirate stretch.     Lucy, Julia & ?     One of my favourite Greg shots ( Sept 2016).     Have a great week ahead.   Simon (My tracker 1.4kms in 26mins from 5:39am)      ...

We must be getting used to winter when 9 degrees in the air and 15.6 degrees in the water don’t seem that bad. We are more that half way through winter – the days are getting longer, and do you remember those teasing 20 plus days earlier this week? It won’t be long and we’ll...

What a beautiful morning to swim. It was a bit cold because of the breeze but lovely choppy water. Angus and Amy have joined BB swimming and today agreed to be photographed.   Also it is Greta’s (pinkish wetsuit) birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREAT GRETA  (see the word play?!)   Lots of wonderful swimmers enjoyed...

Walking down to the swim this morning wondering how cold the water will be and hoping it will be enjoyable or it least not painful. And hoping my friends will be there and we can enjoy a coffee afterwards. Of course, all the hoping comes true, as most things do. Swim was cool and awesome...

Welcome to a quickie Blog with lots of people and no fish.  Tune in for Lainey’s Blog if you want fish 😄 The morning greeted BnB Newbies, Groupies, Blog Tarts and Old Skool with warm conditions and a spectacular sunrise. I managed to track down a couple of Blog Newbies… A few Blog Groupies… And...

My usual vigil to the east before the swim was even more fortifying than normal this morning after I had to brave the path in bare feet as I could’nt find my uggs. The Westerlies as you may be aware create the cold conditions as they move the surface water offshore and it has to be...
