It was my goal to photograph the 6.30 swimmers in action but my camera’s capability was inadequate to the task. So I had to get in their way. Here is one swimmer who could not believe what he saw when he turned (very expertly; with one goggle only out of the water) to breathe  ...

What a beautiful week of swimming it’s been! From Numb rays in the rain to turtle sightings everywhere! Like many of you my week started off with the Cole Classic on Sunday. While I swam the 5km, the Mini Mermaids had their debut into Ocean Swimming with the 1km. So proud of these girls and...

G’day from Queensland We are on vac on Heron island celebrating Nats birthday. It’s a slice of heaven as many of you will know.   So many turtles abound. Tis the season. Nests bursting open with turtle bubs (hatchlings)  busting for the ocean trying to avoid marauding gulls shrieking  ‘mine mine mine’ and lurking reef...

One of those surprisingly beautiful swims when you might have not made it down because of the rain…but are so glad you did! Added bonus of a juvenile Grey Nurse sighting between the point and shed! Water lovely and warm at 23.1! The Drinks Express don’t let a bit of rain put them off and...

Conditions this morning are still a little wild with a decent swell rolling in, providing a social bodysurf for anyone who ventured out. To start the swim, the point express rip was running well today, providing a fast trip out. Big congratulations to everyone who took part in the Cole Classic yesterday! From all reports...

After the heat and humity of recent weeks, today reminded us that winter is not far away, although there was no sign of ugg boots after the swim i’m sure many are starting to think of retrieving them from their summer hibernation.   Hopefully with the cooler temperatures and welcoming, nourishing rain, everyone will get more...

  The Duskies are back! Visibility not so good today (pic taken a few days ago). First day of Feb, lots of swimmers, warm air temp and water temp (21) rippy and bouncy swim but exciting!  Lots of great cozzies! Here are the Manmaids and Mermaids wearing theirs! Don’t they look great?! Even though in...
