We see ice cubes in a glass of water and consider them separate from each other.  But they, and the water they’re floating in, are actually all the same.  This is because the water can be in three different states – solid, liquid and gaseous. Swimming is only possible when water is in its liquid...

Mornin’ all. Inner Westies here. Happy NY to everyone! Fabulous start coming across Anzac bridge.   And team all together at last after summer trekking   We had at least three international swim champs today. Real VIP – Daddy Rainer! aka Werner all the way from Germany.   Newby Holly from Liverpool UK! (with Sebastian from...

On a welcome dry and bright Saturday morning with a balmy water temp of 21.5c (thank you, Master-Temperature-Tester John), this morning saw the debut of Smiley Mary (long-time-swimmer / first-time-blogger), newbie Danny (long-time-surfer / first-time-swimmer)….and some fabulous new swimwear c/o the A-Team. And after this week’s ‘interesting’ weather, conditions couldn’t have been better. Drinks, Bones,...

At last the rain has stopped. Much more enticing for a swim. But even if it is raining it is a great swim. Don’t let the weather put you off! I am not in NSW today so the blog will be short. The temperature yesterday was 20.8 and I wonder if, with the blue skies,...

56 Swimmers today, the surf was up about 4-5 foot with clean waves so there were a few board riders about enjoying the fantastic conditions. Water was beautiful, close to 21 degrees.   You can see that the tide was high so it was quite a long swim out to the point today.   The...

                And finally some hunks…  

Where were all you swimmers this morning, some of who have been grumbling about the swim being crowded??!!  It was big, beautiful, bouncy, exciting, dull, grey, cold but quiet today! You don’t know what you missed! Not scared of getting wet I hope 😉 Dangerous surf conditions so we all walked around to Fairy Bower…Most...

Another incredible, awesome experience this morning, swimming and playing with the lone dolphin during a Bold & Beautiful Swim Squad swim. Oops sorry… that was 2 years ago today 😉 A memory popped up on Facebook and I couldn’t resist it! Had to try and make those of you that were thinking of coming down...

These are the 6am swimmers heading in under cloudy skies this morning. The morning light was beautiful and the rain kept away until after all the swims! Numbers were down on the craziness of the last 2 weeks with around 150 swimmers and 9 Newbies. (That’s totally a guess!)   The pic above shows conditions...

Heaps happening this morning. For starters, it was Leisa’s and John’s 500km. Thanks to Lainey for capturing the momentous occasion so beautifully.     Grey clouds as we started gathering. The kind of morning an Englishman would love. Or a jimble.   And indeed, there were reports of a few minor jimble encounters in the bay.  ...
