It’s the last day of 2014 and a big day at the B&B swim! Loads of swimmers trying it for the first time, two of our favourite ‘Slow and Steadies’ (sorry Lips and Ted), swimming their 1000 kilometres and the final of the speedsters, ‘Triple Crown’! For me apart from the sunrise and the Manly...

A big, wonderful, fabulous merry Christmas to everyone at the Bold and Beautiful! What a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas Day with a gorgeous swim.   Great to see so many families swimming together… there must have been a couple of hundred swimmers today!   A little known fact is that there was a giraffe at...
