Exercising makes you feel good by releasing endorphins but swimming lets loose something much better – endolphins and today, actual dolphins who were happy to swim to and fro among the returning swimmers.  I have good reason to believe they were conjured up from the sea by Anne.   or maybe the dolphins just like...

Swimmers love scones! A busy morning down at the swim today until the rain came although it didn’t last long. It’s holiday time so lots of us aren’t working now and what better way to start our day than a swim with the B&B! Andre is sure to bake something for us to share over...

I am sure I was not the only swimmer today who saw all the different groups swimming about and thought of the unification of Italy. That beautiful country with all of its regional beauty and distinct features and culture was unified in the 1800s but each region retained its own character. So too the various...

  Yesterday I met a man who ruled the world in his sleep. A light southerly, a golden half hour before the crowds. 2 foot at the north end. Chop. CTB looks pretty tame today.         Pennies rising with the sun. The biggest bunch of 6am I’ve seen. Nestled into the pack...

And who are these girls? They are our own swimming mini-mermaids, a band of 12-13 year old young women who love turtles and the sea. They want to be sure both will still be around for many years. They are ardent supporters of Australian Seabird and Turtle Rescue (ASTR). To that end, they are holding...

Manly Surf Life Saving Patrol 1 members and B& B swimmers, Jocelyn and Leah, were looking super energised as they finished their 6am paddle board skills training session today!
