Different day, different conditions. But same great experience. 16.8 degrees today but cloudy skies made it feel cool in parts. But of wave action every now and then and the fish at the point just hang about in it and go with the flow of the water. Good thinking. A few days left for badge...

Sue Marinan swam about her 10,445’th kilometer with the B and B today on her 70th birthday. What a legend. She has swam more than any other swimmer and usually swims 3 times across the bay each day with Greg at her side or Roger our blind swimmer. Happy birthday Sue! Here she is with...

More pictures than words today, conditions are perfect and temperature 16.8. I had sinus issues so couldn’t dive down to take pictures . 8am swim with the wows and a rare photo of yours truly taken too. Doesn’t get any better everyone, ciao- edwina.

Friday 21 August, a morning of messages from bottles to beguiling bluebottles, bountiful marine friends and boundless energy, blissfully bouncing around in the beautiful waters of cabbage tree bay… water temp: 17.7 degrees air temp at 7am (feels like summer?): 17 degrees Breeze: gentle 8-12 kt Northerly (Beaufort 2-3 for those observing from the UK/Europe!)...

Monday 17/8/26 9am  IWT 17.3  OWT 15. Cloudy, sprinkling and rain overnight so I was unsure, but reports from earlier swimmers was very good viz.  I jumped in with the Skinny Dippers crew (black swimmers with sunflowers) and set off straight across the bay.  The estuarine catfish was swimming around the point, and several port...

Today was my first swim in 6 weeks, and a beautiful welcome back to the water . Temperature is 16.8 but felt warmer to me. A lovely big group starting at 7am. I also caught the 6.30 group swimming into a stunning sunrise. I got a pic of Joao , Kate and Laurent heading off...

If you jumped in the water and swam to Port Augusta, west of Adelaide, you would have swum 3000 kilometers. That’s a bloody long way. That’s what Caroline has achieved today (my co-blogger in crime) going back & forth to Shelly over the past 5 years. And she is getting faster, I can’t keep up...

It was 16 degrees in the water today but an enjoyable swim. As we breeze through August make sure you have your swims logged for a winter badge /s. Gemma completed hers today Sydney Trail Sisters had their post run swim at Manly today instead of the usual Manly Dam. Must have felt warm to...

Kieran aka KG is both wonderful and slightly weird and I don’t think he’d mind me putting it out there on a blog! He volunteers for Whale beach SLSC and Can Too and is now a regular at our 7 am swims always making us smile with his gold, flowery cap! A beautiful but cold...

Monday blog Today is a ‘dry blog’ day, rug up, and walk to see our magnificent ocean in a wild and carefree mood. Our new app tells the story, thank you again to Marco for tweaking it to suit all the swimmers as well.  It predicted this weather change and here it is! For those...
