Me again….and welcome October!

The group seemed smaller and slower than yesterday, maybe everyone was sleeping in after AFL final day or forgetting about the clocks moving forward one hour? Eventually people arrived and gathered around their trees and spots for a chat pre swim.  I caught up with two lovely medicos who swim with us: Dr John and Craig

This is Drew, not a newbie but not a regular as he lives interstate. He swam with the A team today and slipped past them all, except Matt who was first back to Manly . Drew is competing in the Coolangatta Gold Ironman Series and trained with a Manly Ironman Squad of three champions yesterday. All at 16 years old, also a relative of the Forsters, the management ones. Good luck in Coolangatta Drew 🙂

Karen is back from Greece, what a trip they had! She’s braving the cold waters after the balmy temps of the Mediterranean.

I”m not sure of the attendance number but a fair number turned up to brave the waters. Recorded temp was 17.1 but I was freezing afterwards, took way too long to complete my swim today.

I found a sleepy wobbegong at halfway and some fish scooting away from me

I swam back with Lizzy Stewart and Belinda Wightley, thanks girls for the chats and giggles.

Anne is trying to improve her post swim hair do here with Elizabeth doing her bit to help!

Lots of people warming up on the wall

Inge is back from her 5 month trip overseas, can’t wait to hear all about that one day. Welcome back Inge.

Breakfast at Havana’s capped off a lovely morning

Dont think there were any newbies today.
