Well here we are; a new year with newly made resolutions. January is a perfect time to hit the Reset button to start afresh. Some things don’t change – which is good! The familiarity of the point is the sight that heralds the morning swim, the company of good friends, and the comedy acts around...

Lainey here blogging quickly as we realised we had no blogger after the swim. I had a few photos so here they are! Bumped into Lips at The Point declaring, ‘I love swimming in the rain!’ It was pretty calm with a few bumps, a tad chilly and not too clear. I’m guessing there were...

That’s right, today seven years ago our original group of swimmers decided to swim to Shelly beach and back again – waiting at The Point and again at Shelly for all swimmers and heading back to South Steyne. The B&B swim was born!   Two became, four became six – here’s an archive piccie of...

“Beach Closed”. Challenging surf conditions greeted us this morning. Some caught a rip around to The Point as shown in this photo: … while most walked around to the steps at half way: A few fun splashes kept us on our toes (or holding tightly to the rail!): … and we bobbed, rocked and rode the...

Christmas Day 2015. If you celebrate the birth of Jesus today, or if you celebrate the birth of Jesus on another day (eg Eastern Orthodox celebrate on 7 January) or do not celebrate that at all, merry Christmas and have a great day.
