When I heard the weather forecast, I planned to definitely start the day with a swim. I was not the only one!
I do not have Roger’s skills to put into the blog but I have Roger – and Pippa – to put in the blog
7.00 am swimmers going out as early swimmers are going out
Not many swimmers at Shelly when I got there but Nikki took a photo from her paddle board.
Having got my dose of Vitamin Sea (I have had flu this week. boo hoo) back on land to see Ian Gayle and Ian – the best people swim!
Justus, Errol, Kerrie Peta and friend in an excellent T shirt
This week I read Bill Bryson’s new book – he so loves England and it is a hilarious and informative book. Recommend it highly

2016 Calendars are HERE!!
The 2016 B&B calendars are now on sale. Get your copy from Ian any day at the swim, or order onlineHERE. They make a great Christmas gift for family and friends, here or overseas. This year the calendars are even more impressive in a larger A3 format, all for the same cost as last year – just $15 each.
RED FEB is coming in February 2016
In anticipation of our participation in the RED FEB Relay next year, Heart Research Australia will provide some invaluable monthly information on general heart health. Here is November’s offering:
Did you know that three times more men die from heart disease than prostate cancer?
Heart disease is one of the leading health risks facing men today. Every day, 98 Australian men have a heart attack; 1 in 7 of these men will die. According to a recent Australian Health Survey, three times more men die from heart disease than prostate cancer – yet most men don’t know they have heart disease until they have a heart attack.
90 per cent of Australians have one modifiable risk factor for heart disease.
The good news is that there are measures you can take to protect yourself from this largely preventable disease. The risk factors you can control include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, insufficient physical activity, obesity, diabetes, poor nutrition, and excessive intake of alcohol. Other risk factors that are beyond our control include age, gender, family history and ethnicity.
You are never too young or too old to start taking care of your heart!
B& B Fundraising Christmas Party
The B & B Christmas Party will be held on Tuesday 8th December at 6.30 pm in the Moonshine Bar (2nd Floor) at the Steyne Hotel. All swimmers and partners/friends are welcome (no under 18s unfortunately). The theme again this year is simply “Christmas”. So come dressed in your finest Christmas paraphernalia. No need to be shy as we will have the whole bar to ourselves. Finger food will be provided by the Steyne, and drinks will be at bar prices. Lots of fun and dancing are guaranteed, with music by our own band “The Troubadors”, who have generously agreed to perform free of charge for us on the night. The cost is $10 per head, with all proceeds going to the running costs of the B&B. But that’s not all. Our charity partner, the Royal Far West Children’s Home, will be running a monster raffle on the night, so please come prepared to support them. Bookings are essential. Book HERE now! Don’t miss out on this fun event, numbers are limited.
Something Special
At the Christmas Party, we will have a fantastic lucky door prize – a Swiss made Australian OceanMoon watch valued at $490 – donated by Bausele Australia. To celebrate the occasion, Bausele will give a 15% discount to all Bold & Beautiful swimmers who purchase a watch on their website. To see their range of watches go to https://www.bausele.com/ehome/, and to activate the discount, just enter the discount code BAB15 when purchasing a watch. Not only that, Bausele will donate 15% of the value of each and every sale on this code to the Bold and Beautiful. The Oceanmoon watch is ideal for ocean enthusiasts like the B&B swimmers, and features advanced ocean technology including water resistance up to 200m, moon phase, tide display and a 40mm face making it unique in its tracking of the Southern Hemisphere Lunar phase and tidal movements.

What a superb swim this am. Nice and flat, fantastic clarity and marine life to be seen and the water temp was very comfortable. Great pics of so many of us lucky enough to swim today. Thanks E1
