Just a quick blog from me today as I’m checking to see if all works ok! keep swimming Lainey
Seeing icicles have formed on the chalk art of the temperature, I made sure I got some photos on land for the blog where there is a lovely atmosphere. Swimmers meeting up. Exchanging the traditional greetings – conditions, temperature, garments and footwear. Coffee – Ian like a beacon in a splendid royal swim robe On...
Changeable winds made for interesting conditions this morning. Bumpy, low viz but brilliant as usual. Critter wise the usual suspects but cloudy conditions. Some swimmers had dolphins swim under them after the 7am peloton came back in. Envious. Guy created a stunning visual tribute to Errol. The man is a genius! The ocean yields up...

Woke super early, champing. Already the SSSS whtsapp stirring. Unlike the Manly surf club at 545am. Dead. Nada. No one. The ocean swimmers whatsapp showed lots...
There are many supporters of B&B, none more passionate than the swimmers themselves, who are always keen to help others But, there are many community members and businesses who are keen to connect and give back to the B&B swimmers too To see the current special offers available to swimmers check out our discounts webpage...
For me it’s psyching myself to get out of bed at 5.30 when it’s 8degC, but drive to Manly and take the polar plunge(feels like this) at Shelly beach. Swim as fast as I can to the big rock then savor the warmth of the water & the Marine life beyond. With the water clarity...
A lucky few swam with dolphins today after 8 am.
Budgy Smuggler are excited to launch their warehouse sale tomorrow; Thursday through to Saturday, and they would like to extend an invitation to B&B swimmers. There’s some pretty good deals on offer if you get a chance to pop in to their warehouse in Brookvale 🥳
