Over 41 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A spectacular sky with beautiful sunrays breaking through the stormy clouds this morning. A challenging swim over to Shelly with the chop and the wind this morning, but a much nicer swim back with a little wave to help us back to shore. Check my dodgy panaromaic photo taken...

Over 57 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. It was a wet swim today, but it didn’t seem to bother the sharks or the kingfish… 🙂 Sadly a dead Sperm Whale got washed in at Newport yesterday afternoon and allegedly a Whaleshark was sighted off Botany last week – gosh I hope that’s true, it would be...

Over 70 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A head wind and a bit of chop as we swam over this morning and a nice tail wind to assist us home 🙂 We’ve obviously been so spoilt recently with tranquil conditions that we’re not used to the chop… Anna Alvsdotter inhaled a wave !!! Claire’s back from...

Over 54 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A beautiful calm swim over to Shelly Beach. Once we all gathered Michael Christie read the Ode followed by Greg McDonagh playing the Last Post on the trumpet as we all looked out to sea. Greg learnt the Last Post especially for us today. You were fantastic Greg, thank...

Over 101 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL !! 🙂 11 new swimmers, welcome to you all. Nick the Brick’s two nieces joined us today from Warners Bay: Sophia and Tabitha along with Derek Minihane’s 7 year old daughter, Caroline. Great effort girls hope we see you all again soon. We also...

Over 49 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. The rain must have scared off some of the swimmers, they must have been afraid of getting wet… The water was flatter than flat, a little blurry in places and the southerly had introduced a few chilly patches. The marine life didn’t seem to mind though, they were all...

Over 164 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. With over 30 first timers, welcome to you all 🙂 What a spectacular swim it was this morning and a new record at that, our largest ever turnout for a regular swim, magnificent 🙂 A stunning sunrise followed by lots of action in the water too: pink splashing humans...

Over 97 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Many swimmers commented that it was ‘just perfect’ this morning and perfect it was. Warm, clear water with nearly 100 swimmers. How many will we get over Easter ? Check out Stephen Coulter’s shark photo from this morning. ANZAC day swim on Monday. Can anyone play the last post...

Over 96 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. The season has changed, the first whale of the season was spotted off Dee Why yesterday morning just after 7am. So that’s the end of the lay-ins if you want to swim with a whale this season… ! The water is still beautiful and warm, although I must say...

Over 71 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. It isn’t as idyllic as last week but its pretty damn good. There were lots of juvenile fish off the point this morning, of particular note was the school of baby batfish and baby mado fish 🙂 Last night’s dinner and drinks very generously sponsored by The Steyne Hotel...
