Getting a bit warmer!

It was a cold morning today but the water temp was recorded as 17.9 which is a pleasant increase from yesterday. Anything to entice me to undress and swim in winter, I could have slept in today but glad I pushed past the snooze button and turned up.

Super sunrise as per usual:

I discovered some pregnant ladies today not far off giving birth, Bianca on the left is 38 weeks, and Kristy on the right is 35 weeks. Both girls making the most of our local public and private hospital systems .

I asked the early boys what the conditions were like, can’t repeat it here really, but it gave me motivation to get in soon. Danny and Alex all smiles

Kit and Jaimee were squealing with delight as they entered the water

I arrived at Shelley just as everyone started the return leg, eek!

Some shenanigans for those who don’t race back to Manly

I love a Port Jackson

Speaking of sharks, Pete was dressed like it’s summer today, and happy to show me his war wounds from the shark encounter. Roger’s hand crept into the photo somehow…

Sid and Michael are back swimming, nice to see them both after long abscences.

notices below, have a lovely weekend everyone.

stats: 300 swimmers, 3 newbies and temp 17.9
