Today was a day to know your ability against the conditions. Waves – not massive but regular and biggish; a pretty strong rip and a bit of murk. Still very nice in.
We also know that the triple crown races were on today. Some contenders getting ready:
We also know that when you run out in the FFF you have to touch the wall. Before you line up to hear the comments and run back in. Below is a photo of the participant who did not touch the wall – now buried in the sand.
Triathletes galore. What an impressive sport. I love it almost as much as open water swimming and water polo. And the season is coming to an end but the training goes on
I never have far to look to find beautiful swimmers to photograph
Welcome back lovely Adrian
Family swim
Great to see Allan here and Pam.
Badge ceremony coming up for summer bages – we all know that is what swimming is all about 😉 And also Lynda acheived her 1000km in the rain last week but we were glad to do a tunnel and digital 1000 today
And my idol, Alan Thomson compelted 4oookm last Friday and has gone to Western Australia to celebrate! Congratulations !!
2023 Summer Badge Ceremony – Sunday 23rd April
You’ve done the hard yards and earned your Summer Badge(s), so why not collect them personally with all the pomp and ceremony the B&B can muster. Our Summer Badge Ceremony will be held at the Royal Far West’s Centre for Country Kids at 14-18 Wentworth St (opposite Rialto Square) on Sunday 23rd April, at 8 am, straight after the regular swim! Everyone is welcome, family, friends and swimmers alike. Bring along $10 for each badge you have earned (credit cards will be accepted at this event). $5 will be donated to RFW for each badge collected at this event, so, if you can’t make it, get your friends to collect your badge for you. Or if you have previous badges you have forgotten to collect, now is the time to do it.
A $5 per person donation will be payable to the RFW at the gate for hosting this event, and …. RFW will provide a FREE breakfast (sausage sandwich and a coffee/tea). Bookings are essential to ensure there is enough food. Book here NOW https://www.boldandbeautifulmanly.com.au/2023-summer-badge-ceremony.html
