I’m told Julie Isbill  “The Big Kahuna” is going to be here tomorrow, now is your chance to meet her if you haven’t already. She apparently had something to do with starting this swim, but I’m not sure.   This was what it was like @ 6am before anybody had arrived       But...

Good to see everyone this morning… Anne tells me about 80 swimmers, no new people and water at about 20 degrees.   I heard there were blue bottles and jimbles in the bay so decided to wear a wetsuit… and was then mercilessly mocked by the 6:30am macho men. I like to think of them...

Fiona led the 6AM “swim in the dark ninja” crew who reported a few jimbles out wide so the word was to stay close to the rocks (where the scenery is much better anyway even if it is a bit further).   Hmm? maybe tomorrow.   I’ll keep a look out for you for you....

A stormy sky with a rainbow out of the Manly SLSC a lovely sight from the point waiting for the 7am “lets go”.   We did have some lovely pre-storm light just prior to the 7am splash off!   Look what was in the water with us, always happy to see a Turtle :))  ...

  Well not if you swam with me today, What a brilliant day it has started out ! Down for Booty camp @ 6am to watch the sunrise   Flat out  doing our superman exercises at flying school.       Edwina still does the chicken wings when a wave comes, but soon gets her...

Did you know that on this day… … in 1846 the largest moon of the planet Neptune was discovered? (Triton) … in 1897 an improved way of synthesising aspirin was uncovered by German chemist Felix Hoffmann? … in 1911 the Qing dynasty came to a close with the Wuchang Uprising, leading to the foundation of...

Oops.  I slept in.  Ian Forster reports there were only one or two jimbles left out there, and any blueys must’ve been beached and washed back out.  No sting in them. Temp:          19.7 Newbies:      Nil Swimmers  120 I’ve picked one photo from each blog.  It starts from August last year …  I’ll be shifting to...

One of those mornings… bit grey, bit stingy, bit uninviting. So well done to the 70 or so swimmers who got wet! So apparently it was a wall of jimbles in the bay and blueys for those who headed north… So lots of debate about whether to swim or not… but never a doubt for...

 A happy crew of around 90 Pink Cappers enjoyed a surprisingly flat and calm swim in 20.5 degree water today! There was a strong Southerly onshore wind but our favourite corner was protected.    These ladies all came together from Cammeray today. They were happy to have squeezed a 7th B&B lover in the car....
