Awesome Sophie opens our blog today (and her legs ;-)). Love her star jumps, but most of all her warm, kind and huge heart! (If anyone needs the best Marriage Celebrant she’s your lady.) A huge turn out today on the last day of Spring!   The sunrise when I saw it during my run,...

I woke this morning in a panic as the morning light had already beaten a path through the window and up the wall. I bounded out of bed with the prospect of an early swim. Ian Mcknight had warned me the night before he would be banging on my window at 5:30am to make sure I...

6amers said lets go to the harbour.         Angel B         It’s 6.05am and 5 went to the toilet roll and 5 went to Little Manly.     Derek and Sarah swam at 6.10 to Shelly without bluebottles.     Guess the 6.30 swimmer who got stung!  Jumbles ???    ...

Yep that right! There’s no title today. Lainey asked me at breakfast what I would be calling the blog today and agreed that sometimes it’s even hard to come up with a title! We had a cracking 280 swimmers today, of which 18 were new and John Bond confirmed the water temperature as a balmy...

Today is my hump day, and after yesterday’s rough surf and choppy swimming conditions, I”m glad Manly is back to it’s normal perfect self.   Anne welcomed two new swimmers and they agreed to do whatever she said!   This lovely lady is heading back to Miami after two swims with us and promises to...

I was in a slight panic this morning. I hadn’t had time to plan my blog and I felt very uninspired with no idea for a theme. I shouldn’t have worried. There was no need for a theme today. There was so much to celebrate, experience and enjoy so I’ll let the morning and all...

Nice and warm today air temp 25 degrees, water temp 21.5 degrees.   Congratulations to Cheryl on completing her 500km, well done. Cheryl – Celebrating with her B & B friends at Shelley.   Waves were up a bit today.   Some of the happy faces of 6.30am swimmers returning.   Greg enjoyed his swim....
