31 adventurous Bold & Beautiful swimmers enjoyed a free rush of adrenaline this morning.

Over 63 Bold & Beautiful swimmers.

60 Bold & Beautiful swimmers There’s a nice little wave rolling in to Manly this morning, but it seems it’s not only the sea that’s pumping… 😉       Welcome back to Derek Martin who is very happy to be visiting us for 2 days, back from NZ. A lovely array of colours on...

77 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Another wet and grey ole day when you might as well swim ‘cos you’re going to get wet whether you like it or not. Plus it is lovely swimming in the rain, it kinda has a beautiful mystical feeling to it.     Not so good for photographs though… can...

127 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A lovely little wave amonst the grey skies to kick start this morning’s swim.         into the beauiful calm waters across the bay with an ocean covering of duskies.     It seems there was plenty of discussion about their size at Shelly… 😉 and varying opinions...

Over 80 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Including 9 swimmers who also enjoyed a bonus early lap as you can from Gaetan’s lovely early photos in which as has also captured the beautiful colours of the changing dawn sky.             Meanwhile however, some things never change, like our early morning cuddles...

Over 40 Stalwart Bold & Beautiful swimmers. A wet start to the day whether you swam or not this morning. But well worth coming for a swim as there’s nothing like a nice pre-swim huddle to get you ready for the day. We almost need a torch with the tick sheet for these wintry mornings....

Over 60 Bold & Beautiful swimmers. Enjoying another serene morning swim together. Andrew and John are pretty excited as the Scottish Rugby team are staying in Manly and reckon they might come and swim with us 🙂 You could be forgiven for thinking from this photo, that non-wetsuit swimmers are still the majority.  Maybe not...
