Good morning from the Saturday blog. When I opened the curtains early this morning to let the light in, it was pitch dark! Winter is coming, but today we were blessed with another perfect Autumn morning. While not quite as amazing as the past week or so, the water clarity was still good enough to...

Cracking morning… what a week… water is still warm enough to wear speedos (not impressed wetsuited Brad…), visibility is off the chops, and nice and flat. All that said, definitely a few less swimmers each morning now that winter is approaching! I ran into Irishman Alex and his lovely lady friend Roxy this morning. Beautiful...

We have been so spoilt lately that as soon as conditions aren’t absolutely perfect there is a moment……just a moment, of disappointment.   Not that the chilly morning deterred any of these regulars   Nat started out at 6.30 as she had to teach today.   Michele, Andrew and John   Michele, Martin and Sue...

With a low tide at 7.30, 30 cm of swell from the north east and the lightest of 5K west nor west wind and most importantly a stunning 22 degrees, it was hard to imagine we were in May. The Rubber has usually long since made its appearance on many a day by this time....

        Baby Sarah.   The beginning of a perfect day.   I swam with Bianca and Jo who both “podium” in the South Curl Curl to Freshwater swim yesterday!!!   Light over the beach.   The Drinks Express got to meet the sunrise.       Newbie Swedish Gunnar  (in wetsuit).   Three...

Mornin’ all. Inner Westies here. Two theme songs for today’s blog! Gorgeous conditions. I have never seen the water so clear. So many fish, lots of duskies and so much more. 14 newbies, about 310 oldies, water 21 degrees and air temperature about 17. Fi1’s gorgeous sunrise photo …           Morning...

Well I’m calling it-  a top 10 swim today! While any swim is a good swim, some days are just magical-  crystal clear 20.2 degree water, a stunning sunrise, an abundance of marine life and smiles everywhere you look. Firstly, congratulations to Wills and Kate on their wedding anniversary today. So great they could join...

What a difference a day makes indeed. the conditions were warm (although the breeze is getting a bit of chill in it) and the water was very clear. I read about the dip below 20 degrees yesterday and it gave me pause but what a fabulous swim today. If only the traffic would stay off...

Well its official – winter is definitely just around a the corner and this morning proved it with our first swim of the year where the water temperature was under 20 degrees – who do we talk to about warming things up again!!! Despite the brisk chill in the air the water was actually relatively...
