103 B&B swimmers; 16.4 degrees in the water; 7 degrees out!  Truly this mob is addicted to this morning ritual. When you have the privilege to share the experience of a winter’s sunrise with an amazing bunch of people – why wouldn’t you make the pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Point to give thanks....

Welcome to Pi Day!!  For the hipster nerds out there this will be obvious.  For the rest of us this is because it is 22/7 which is – if you remember your school maths – Pi. π Continuing with the numbers, there were 97 brave B&B swimmers this morning, approximately 11 of which were on the...

182 dedicated swimmers turned out for a fabulous swim on this cold Sunday Morning. Where else where you rather be and no the answer is not in bed as I hear some of you saying.   With the rough seas subsiding we had a leisurely swim this morning taking in the best of what nature...

120 Bold and Beautiful swimmers this morning!   (forewarning: I changed the format of blog and it does NOT publish well on Mobile Phones,  – the sentences don’t match the pictures! It looks better on Computers!) Even though Robyn has her WWW badge she is continuing to swim through winter without her wetsuit! What a legend!...

An interesting definition of ‘organic’ is organised, systematic, coordinated.  That sounds like us don’t you think?   It was so dark this morning that the little light on the check in list was a welcome beacon.  A massive 105 swimmers gathered for today’s swim.  The usual good natured banter distracts us from the time –...
