Friday 9 April 2021 Dangerous current, debris, surface scum, MANY jelly fish but Warm

Conditions today warranted TWO Dangerous current signs being erected by the lifeguards

Those very skilled and capable swimmers who swam in these conditions swam north. There were reports of low visibility, scum on the surface, debris, and one swimmer counted 39 orange barrel jellyfish. Which I find creepy as they look like a bald human head out of the corner of your eye.

Shelly beach was closed for pollution

Here are the skilled and masterful swimmers:

And nice club swimming costumes

When you swim, it is up to you to check if the conditions are suitable for you or not. But swimmers are good so if you ask, they will give your information about the conditions so you can take it into account. Here is an image of the passing on of wisdom from the amphitheatre with swimmers engrossed.

Survived the conditions!

Getting ready at the A team tree

Phew – early swimmers out safely

Wes (right) and Danny. Wes’ first swim today. What a day to pick. Come back again. it is not usually this challenging

Coordinated group

No worries for this group

The swell hit the beach and took away the sand. Runners and walkers have hardly any beach to work with
