Over 40 Stalwart Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A wet start to the day whether you swam or not this morning. But well worth coming for a swim as there’s nothing like a nice pre-swim huddle to get you ready for the day. We almost need a torch with the tick sheet for these wintry mornings....

Over 60 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Enjoying another serene morning swim together. Andrew and John are pretty excited as the Scottish Rugby team are staying in Manly and reckon they might come and swim with us 🙂 You could be forgiven for thinking from this photo, that non-wetsuit swimmers are still the majority.  Maybe not...

Over 112 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. How’s this for a gorgeous morning…   The sun’s shining, the seas are calm and clear – and after all what more is there is to ask for of a morning ?  Clearly not much, everyone’s pretty damn happy here 🙂                ...

Over 120 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A stunner of a morning with the sun breaking the horizon just as Michael discovered the slight drop in the water temperature… Anyone would think there was a chill in the air with everyone so rugged up right till the knocker. It requires a lot of concentration to get...

Over 60 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. What a difference a day makes… Despite the lack of sun there was certainly no lack of enthusiasm for swimming.  In addition to the regular 7am swim there were also 6 swimmers who enjoyed an early swim, albeit in the chop, up to Queensie, and another 7 who enjoyed...

Over 80 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Another colourful sunrise to greet us for our morning swim.  They’re only going get better too as we move into winter !     Always time for a quick hug and lots of smiles as we enter the water 🙂           Elaine and Alyson almost...

Over 122 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Enjoy yet another spectacular morning at lake Manly… check out how calm the sea is for as far as the eye can see !!  Not a bad sunrise either… Whilst it does feel a little fresh as you first get in it’s definitely worth it, the water is really...

Over 92 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Another perfect morning for a swim.  Ok so every morning is perfect, but these totally peaceful conditions just make it simply unmatchable.       We are getting very close to breaking the 3000 mark with 2939 different individuals having currently ever swum with us (that we know of),...

Over 58 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Those clouds were short lived this morning clearing almost as soon as we entered the water and the sun came up… not sure which had the most positive influence. Yet another superb swim in calm tranquil waters 🙂       Welcome back to Kirstin Buehrich who used to...

Over 131 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. There might have been some unpredicted grey clouds around but there was certainly nothing else grey about the morning.  The water is still superb and there were certainly lots of lurve around…         The marine life, well it’s simply prolific.  Craig and Rob counted 39 duskies...
