The washing machine conditions are persisting, with the spin cycle still going. 119 swimmers were rewarded with spectacular morning sunlight to compensate for the not quite so hygienic water conditions. Since we are an inclusive rather than elitist mob, we are privileged to be blessed with degrees of challenge to our daily exercise routine.   About half...

Only 77 Bold and Beautiful swimmers  swam today, on a misty, magical and marvellous Thursday morning! The surf was huge with thumping waves crashing way beyond The Point and ‘dolphin divers’ ducking under the waves would have had a faceful of seaweed! It was definitely a Halfway Day again today for most of us… Sun...

ALMOST back to normal…. As most who swam today know I was trying to do a ‘video diary’ of the swim – and now I realise you cannot throw one together in 60 minutes! 🙁 Anyhoo I will post link later….. in the meantime check out these photos!! 😀 Believe it or not these are...

Well there were a ridiculous 22 B&B who would not have missed the adrenaline rush of a little swim with Oswald (Cyclone Oswald that is) See from all the bright and shiny smiles how committed each swimmer is to seizing the most out of every day.  .   At T minus 4 minutes there were...

…it’s the Welsh Wrestler! There are certainly some colourful characters in the Bold & Beautiful swim squad but this one certainly takes the cake. He was seen around Manly on Australia day fighting crime with his trusty pinata but no one seems to know his real identity…I doubt we will ever find out. But even...

Hi and welcome to another day of blogging from Me. First of all apologies to all the people who fell for last weeks little joke about Mr Jackman and got a little bit too excited. Apparently some ladies went out, got waxed and bought new cossies and left their husbands a Dear John letter in...

Once some jolly swimmers… Over 500 top blokes and good sorts turned up in their Australian work boots (thongs – or flip flops for you European bludgers) for a bit of a wet walkabout to Shelley. 115 Cleanskins decided to brave the blueys, leave the boogie boards in the car and have a proper crack...

Mystery musical celebrities taking up residence on Manly Beach             (More about this further down in the blog) This stunner of a summer’s morning saw as many as 214 pink swimmers including 12 newbies and 16 Bolderdashers. What a great warm-up for tomorrow’s Australia Day swim. If you plan to introduce friends and family to B&B tomorrow, please...

        Lainey Loo/E-Lane/T3 is away and I’m writing my first blog. What big shoes to fill – well, not really, she’s quite petite – maybe what a big mouth to fill is more accurate, although somehow that doesn’t sound right? It’s now day 7PJ (Post Jules) and day 1490 on the full...

We were still waiting for everyone to arrive at The Point, when suddenly, in the distance, we heard a ROGUE female voice yell “let’s go”!! John Kelly, our resident Let’s Goer was still waiting for everyone to arrive before HE yelled the “official” Let’s Go! Just so you know the reason we wait for everyone...
