Tuesdays seem to be the quietest which is quite nice if you don’t like the chaos of crowds. The sunrise was lovely again and the water was calm for an easy entrance and exit. As Jon had posted earlier, it got bumpy close to Shelley. The viz was crap so I didn’t see much,  it...

It was very dark this morning but the sunrise was super special. Very red bands on the horizon. Lots of people enjoyed it. at 615, that run club went surging through the swimmers. Maybe 100 stong. Meanwhile HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROLINE BY THE SEA!!!!! FFF sang Happy birthday to her and then there was cake with...

Lovely morning for a swim and this time of year is great for sunrises,  for those of us that swim at 7am we don’t get them all year round ! Perfect morning for yoga on the beach. Hugh, Jim, Greg and Sarah from Sales said still no viz at 6am and they were all bumping...

Wednesday 22 May  – 9 days until winter… each day brings more chill to the air!  The water, however, teases us… one day dropping in temperature, the next, increasing, confuddling everyone with decisions – is it time for neoprene, or am I brave enough to obvigate the need for neoprene and hold out until the...

A great swim today with clearer water, a calm bay and Cuttlefish sightings! Our fellow swimmer, celebrity chef Miguel was also back from The Maldives where he went for work (alright for some). Here he is with the cool and kind Drinks Express! Not a good shot as the water  did get cloudier towards Shelly...

From a distance Guy’s artwork looked like a ninja turtle , but I was wrong. The story of this piece is on his insta page temperature_guy_manly so rather than repeat what is there, have a look, give him a like and subscribe. Drinks said the swim was fabulous but then he always does. Edwina’s injury...

Apparently Tuesdays are the quietest but after such a long stint of dreary weather it was a spectacular morning The sea temperature is starting to drop but still feels lovely once you’re in. The tide was low,...
