The Bold and Beautiful is not swimming as a group. People come down when it suits so there is always someone to photograph for a blog.
If you try to look on the bright side, usually you are swimming in to glare. Not today. The swim had a bit of everything: Rips, waves, current, some jimbles, seaweed, some black spiky urchin things wrenched from the rocks floating about. Huge high rise splashes against the wall t half way.
And a huge parade of swimmers.
Oh No – it is raining and Jo is getting wet
Bernhard saw jimbles out in the middle and alerted us
Greg got jimbled and is wearing the reaction to prove it. He is bright red even though he has soov, anti histamines, creams and unguents on board. Nasty
Winter Badge Collection 2020
Congratulations to all those who completed their Covid-19 winter swimming challenge. As almost 600 swimmers qualified, the badge distribution this year will be different in order to maintain a Covid-safe environment for our volunteers. Unfortunately, only virtual handshakes and hugs from Ian, John, Anne and Pauline and contact-less distribution.
There is only one way you can obtain your badge(s)
- Inside a self-addressed, stamped envelope place cash for your badge/s
- – $10 per badge for the Covid Badge (if you completed 20 swims over winter) and an extra $10 for the Ice Cold Corona Badge if you did those swims without a wetsuit. Family members/friends sharing an envelope must clearly name each swimmer and badge achieved. Please check postage rates and size of envelope required for multiple badges.
- Post this envelope in another envelope to Ian Forster, 6 Bligh St, Northbridge. 2063.
Badges will be posted as soon as they arrive. If you have any other badges that you are missing and wish to purchase, please include cash for those as well.

Thanks for another great blog Elizabeth. I love how you always manage to find something positive, even in a day when I was wondering at one point why I’d dragged everyone there. But there were plenty of smiling faces around, and I realised that it was worthwhile after all :). I hope you enjoyed your swim and were jimble-free? I think the sun is supposed to come out in spades tomorrow!
