This week I felt peeved because on several occasions I encountered writers saying “disinterested” when they clearly meant “uninterested” – what to do?? Have a swim. After a few moments in the water, I will be free of peeves.
Here are my fellow swimmers who will have the same benefit
Lachlan and Nick
Richard gets intro from Inge. Good start!
Trina and my daughter Ruby who came to swim with me because she turned 18 today!!!
Ian gave us good guidance – the treacherous water at the beach was just for experts. the rest of us went to halfway
People listened closely
Usually at Shelly – now father and son on land, Guy and Tom
Ross
Rob did not get the memo on the striped t shirt
Arthur and Bruno
Encounters with early swimemrs
Entry at Half way
Karen Stephanie and Jess
Almost at Shelly
Waves at half way
NEXT WEEK – ARTWORK FROM ONE OF OUR MULTITALENTED SWIMMERS – CAN’T WAIT
Stats
260 swimmers
8 newbies
23.1 degrees
The beach was closed for dangerous (“treacherous”) conditions

Lovely blog Elizabeth. Your Ruby is a gem.
Agree with you re laxity of word use. We have the best words, tremendous words, in the words of a President of some reknown. Let’s use them correctly.

Great Blog Elizabeth.
I popped down from up the coast but the sea was angry my friend, like an old man sending back soup in a Deli.
Discretion is the better part of valour, OR he who fights and runs away lives to fight another day, OR fortune favours the brave, OR look before you leap, OR I chickened out.

Lovely blog Elizabeth and a very happy birthday to your Ruby! It was a great swim from half way today. I was very happy to avoid the surf this morning. Thanks John Bond for your assistance getting in and out at Fairy Bower
