130 ‘Gladtheygotoutabed’ swimmers swam under a magical and vivid sky today…Another ‘wow’ day! Beautiful early morning light and sunrise, loads a fish, warm, clear water with just a gentle wave… You will get cuttlefish photos today! First light was breathtaking… ( It was really difficult to stop looking at the sky and taking photos, to...

 Except this one…..hehe Big day coming up on Saturday – JUNE 1!  The start of the winter badges.  We are all wearing Onesies (jumpsuits) to the swim (not of course IN the swim) AND certain people will receive their 500 KM badge! Below is screen shot of who will get one! (and of course after you...

A foggy start to the day did not deter the 66 B&B swimmers who rocked up for the daily dip.   Surprisingly, it was rather mild as we gathered in front of our favourite building site.  And of course we do bring our own special blend of colour to the morning.   The ‘getting wet’...

83 Bold & Beautiful swimmers enjoyed the best start to the week. Now there is nothing wrong with wearing a wetsuit. Take it from someone who wore one ALL SUMMER! Unless your name is John Kelly of course….   No caption needed: After all the abuse I get, it’s just a little dissapointing to see...

Sunday Morning – We know the surf’s up and the air’s a little nippy but we know the beautiful 21.3c water’s waiting for us The Surf Jedi were conferencing….     The waves are nice and clean and not too dumpy…   The debris is almost at the top of the ramp – impressive.  ...

An old skool Saturday for the hard core B&B – we woke up to a chilly, dark and wet morning. It enticed 104 core Bold Beautiful out to model their hard earnt skills and badges – not a newbie to be seen! The surf and rips had built and JK advised the half way option...

Contrary to photographic evidence above, I will open today’s blog with an official announcement stating there was no tsunami hitting Manly this morning. These are the tough conditions we were faced with, but did they face us? Hell no. Torrential rain over the last 48 hours has effectively polished our roads of dog poo and...

53 swimmers rose to a challenge today, coming out on this cloudy, raining, cold, stinker of a morning!! Thursdays have been beautiful ever since I started blogging 6 months ago… but today it was miserable! Saying that, are we glad we did it? Of course. You NEVER regret a swim, particularly a Bold and Beautiful swim! ...

HAHA …NOT …this is about the 8th week in a row, surely?? that we’ve had this great weather, warm seas and it was possibly the clearest yet?? Although… Judging by this pic it seems to be gloomy (and not many BnB’ers) but it’s ALL an illusion…because YES  it’s still glorious…   No trick camera work...

The conditions remain flawless!  With the water temperature at 20.4 degrees (ok it was 11 degrees out of the water. . . ), stunning, golden sunrise and 103 swim buddies, the conditions are immaculate for a morning swim.  Can you beleive that it is only one month to the winter solstice? The early crowd gathers...
