Today’s dawn was heavy with the promise of a storm.  Deep grey clouds hung over the horizon, with a very messy surf. Perfect conditions for the 70 swimmers who had recovered from long weekend activities to turn up today. Some people are so keen to make sure they don’t miss the start, they sleep on...

A game will only exist if you decide to play it. The field is infinite and there is no need for sides. Regardless of the colours with which we are adorned, country or creed.  You make the rules, you score the goals. When the final whistle sounds, no matter how many seasons it takes, the...

Please Note with daylight saving the iPhone log app has become confused 🙁 we’re working on it, but in the meantime you can log today’s swim on a PC.   Morning all! I’m so confused today! So, which way did they go? Is it really 6am? Or is it 7am? Whatever time it is /...

In my other life (the one where I wear clothes) I often have to quantify the subjective and rate the vague. I was thinking about this and started wondering, how am I going to rate this swim? How do I quantify this swim against all the others I have done? How do you rate it...

Funny sky one hour after sunrise (6.32am)   Sheena  said, “put your elbow on your knee Greg”, as part of her yoga mantra, you too can imbibe the karma with the new B&B yoga on Tues, Thurs & Sat. Charlotte said, “zip me up please” while Ian said “‘why don’t any of these women ask me to...

This is how Heather saw in Monday morning.  Simply stunning don’t you think?  Then along with 80 or so other swimmers, she turned up at B&B central to plunge into the glorious 18.7 degree water.  Unlike our regular Monday blogger who didn’t quite make it. . . .   Manly was abuzz with activity.  The combination...
