Guess who @6:54am.   Famous faces Jim.   Greg.   Teddy & Roget.     B&B needs you.   Girls.     Smiles after 🏊🏻‍♂️ &   ☕️.     There are more girls.     Birthday pink cap for Jane.     Michelle and Greg from Warringah Triathlon Crew.     #4 today  ...

A gorgeous sky and perfect conditions greeted me this morning.  As did these three lovely swimmers:   Alanna, Anne and Edwina had arrived early for some pre-swim chats.   Dave had also arrived early with Baxter, who was upping the cuteness factor of the morning.  Ed got special cuddles:   Belinda, Emma and Kerry couldn’t...

Conditions were perfect today with a calm beach and bay, mildy cold temperature outside and in the water, and a lovely sunny day waiting for us as we finished our swim. A handful even braved doubles and triples or a boulderdash Mr Maher! I caught these early birds running out of the water, they’ve just...

This blog is going to be crisp and clear, just like this morning’s swim.   What a beauty it was; a leisurely walk to the point, an abundance of marine life on display and happy, smiling faces everywhere. Peter Shultz was one of the happy swimmers, returning to water for his first crossing since his...

Flicking through Facebook this morning, like most mornings, and its all about a mate on a big holiday in Greece, an awesome birthday party in Dubai and great achievement in a son’s life. And I’m grateful for their joy. I love staying connected but in all these big events there is a something strange, something...

Enjoying the stunning winter conditions and glorious sunrise.   The water temperature does appear to be gradually heading south, but we hardy swimming types scoff at the idea of sleeping in on such a perfect day.   Mind you, when there are warming cuddles galore from friends you haven’t seen...

Another beautiful sunrise to wake up to … makes the early wake up and cold start 100% worth it!!     Low tide this morning made the swim a little shorter for us all!   Just caught the blue groper on camera this morning … unfortunately I think he’s a bit camera shy though  ...

“Shift your focus” is an all too familiar slice of self-help cliché. It’s not wrong per-se. Shifting focus can help. But something gets lost in the application. We don’t so much need to shift focus across to something else… There’s a lot to choose from in today’s attention hungry world. The last thing you need...

Nothing to complain about when it’s the weekend and the morning looks like this. I honestly believe every morning is perfection; immersion in it provides an opportunity to remember that even for a little while we have this daily refuge of calm and beauty.   Ready for their daily immersion. Baby Bear, Mama Bear, Papa...

There wasn’t much talk  today of the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, so there’s your reference and lets get to the topic of today. Swimming in the sea. A sizeable contingent of ski and board paddlers. Not a bad way to start a morning as we all know.   Shortly joined by the...
