It is hard to break bad habits but easier to start and keep a good habit. Swimming with the BB is my best good habit. It did not matter that there were lashings of wind and rain last night, I still got up to have my swim. And it was lovely. The boot camp training was...

The best time to be out and about in Manly is in the morning… especially on a hot day like today. It has that locals feel, lots of people exercising, and our little swim! This morning we even had a helicopter trying to take away the police boat on Queenscliff headland.   And joining us this...

Firstly, Thanks to Lainey Loo for filling in for me while I’ve been away xoxoxo   What a great day for swimming after all the horrible weather ! Unfortunately my new camera decided it was time to get wet & somehow filled up with water….Grrrrr !! Pity really had some great shots.   Dreamboat Dave...

Morning all and Welcome to those who partook for the first time today. I got thinking this morning that there really is something therapeutic and addictive about salt water. When I work out what it is I’ll let you know. For the time being feeling good is enough for me. This morning we were met...

We see ice cubes in a glass of water and consider them separate from each other.  But they, and the water they’re floating in, are actually all the same.  This is because the water can be in three different states – solid, liquid and gaseous.

And after this week’s ‘interesting’ weather, conditions couldn’t have been better. Drinks, Bones,...

At last the rain has stopped. Much more enticing for a swim. But even if it is raining it is a great swim. Don’t let the weather put you off! I am not in NSW today so the blog will be short. The temperature yesterday was 20.8 and I wonder if, with the blue skies,...

56 Swimmers today, the surf was up about 4-5 foot with clean waves so there were a few board riders about enjoying the fantastic conditions. Water was beautiful, close to 21 degrees.   You can see that the tide was high so it was quite a long swim out to the point today.   The...
