A chill is in the air The water temp decreasing Has summer already said goodbye?   Drinks Express never fail to rise, no matter the conditions. Creatures of habit (and a good one at that)   Flashing lights of red and blue, Sarah from Sales and Jon already in the water, heading north.    ...

Wednesday 29 March – pitch black at 6:09am…. flashes of blue, green and red in the water….. I can hear but not see the small rolling wavelets…. zephyrs of breeze, the air felt a little heavy…. the clubbies have chosen to run to Queensie and play on the boards at first light, which today wasn’t...

Morning darkness will soon end with the clocks changing on Sunday (except probably the Manly surf club clock which definitely has a mind of its own!) but so will those sunrises, which have been spectacular of late. Always hard to decide when’s best, summer, winter, in between… Guy’s chalk skills have also been spectacular recently,...

The clock above the surf club is off. Maybe it is just a fault or maybe it is a sign that we should not worry about the time but just enjoy the moment. Whoever swam in the ten out of ten conditions today would have been in the moment because it was a very nice...

Lovely atmosphere down at the swim today. Sally Stobo’s birthday so a big turn out from ‘The Mermaids’! A beautiful swim with calmer conditions, avoidable Jellies and that nasty rip has gone! It’s still pretty dark at 6.30am… 22 degrees in the water and around 19 out. Pilates and Yoga sessions were in full force...

Hey guys   I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. The water was a really lovely 22.6, but really very murky and bumpy.  In a moment of sheer stupidity & not paying attention, I swam straight onto the rocks this morning – twice. Needless to say, I’m covered in scrapes & scratches 😢   It...

      Did you know that wearing green on St Patricks Day makes you invisible to the iritating pinching leprechauns. I swam out in the dark in green sluggos hoping it worked on Jellyfish as well. Not a jelly did I see! Didn’t stop me running smack bang into Passage Rock, I’m sure it...

  6:26 This time of year brings later sunrises which means a darker start for the 6:30 swimmers. The countdown is on for changing the clocks.  There was a bit of fog in the air which made for an interesting view of the sun as it rose between my first and second laps and as...
