CHRISTMAS MORNING SWIM & BREKKIE
B&B swim to Shelly Beach and back at 7am, 365 days a year which includes Christmas morning.
Having a swim with your friends is a wonderful way to start your Christmas! Please dress in your finest Christmas paraphernalia. We even sang a Christmas carol accompanied by Woodie on the guitar at Shelly Beach last year just to make sure we were in the festive spirit.
Then… if you don’t have to rush off, why not congregate at Shelly Beach afterwards for an informal shared BYO BBQ breakfast. Everyone who can attend should just bring something to share and enjoy. If you have friends or family who would like to join in but don’t want to swim, that’s wonderful too as they can always claim an area and a BBQ at Shelly for everyone, so their contribution will be most appreciated.
Staying safe
Remember that there are no badges for scaring yourself silly! While it is great to extend your boundaries, it is important to know your limits. Do read these excellent tips on staying safe in the surf. To read, or even download, click here.
Kelly came up with this suggestion…………
“I thought it would be nice if we all brought along a little extra for the occupants of the shelter near the benches ? Buy an extra coffee and bacon roll, bring an extra cake and biscuit ? even wrap an extra gift!
We all enjoy the fruits of a privileged existence right under their noses, 364 other days of the year, so what a perfect day to share the love.
Merry Christmas everyone! Jones xx”

I lost my view mirror goggles today. I think they were left behind in the change room. If anyone has found them please bring tomorrow as I will be swimming. Thanks so much

I’m feeling sorry for all the naughty people who slept in. Shelly, do you think that Santa will bring each of them a bag of sticks?
