Friday 11 March 2016. Each of us is an individual

I got lasting benefit from Megan’s excellent blog yesterday as it got me through several first world problems yesterday and this morning. Why or why are the perforations in coffee lids done so poorly?! I am inspired by all the activity going on at the beach each time I visit

 

some discussions about the swim. I always get good tips from Inge about improving my technique expressed in a way I can understand. Thanks Inge.

 

Some tips for safe negotiation of waves from Martin and Jim

 

 

Some gorgeous swimmers getting ready

 

 

Back of mind for me and Angela is a work day following the swim but for Paul…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Swimming is an individual activity but we go in a group. Look closer – some are doing freestyle; some are doing a swim-like action (me) and some breastroke and even butterfly (so impressive). Some have different coloured caps – see below – some swimmers or wetsuits or flippers or flipper. Some are racing and some are photographing fish.

 

 

Lots of fabulous smiles

It was not like pool swimming today at the point but gentle

 

 

Good to see John at Shelly beach keeping things in order but what are the swimmers behind looking at

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was it this?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I exited through the waves and was glad to see these two swimmers to guide me back in.
