I must confess I had mixed emotions about the swim today. Is it too cold to swim? Should I be a WWWW, that is, Winter Wimp With Wetsuit? (Ian we need a badge for this). I packed my wetsuit but didn’t wear it. How about a double? What about just going for coffee at Hakans? And...
The Yogi’s were all lined up for their morning of Ummm-ing Nothing like a good Um & a Namaste to get you going for the day ! Yes, I was shocked at how warm the water is too ! What a lovely bunch of new friends get-together for a photo & with...
It’s always a pleasure waking up on a saturday morning – the whole weekend of fun ahead and spared the daily grind of a normal work day. This day was a special one for me, as it was my first Bold and Beautiful Blog day!! “Just write something personal…” I was told by the veteran...
Today, 240 people turned up with big massive hearts! Ready to love our ocean. This is Manly’s 20th ocean care day! Lovely Sparkles is here ready to pick up any rubbish she finds as she swims.

Today’s headlining photo sums up our swim today. 231 swimmers fought against the odds and swam through what felt like walking through a dense wood at times. Was it just me, or am I just lucky? Together with continually being wrapped up in seaweed I bumped into three mutton birds floating on top of the...
Wakey wakey! Time to swim! A number of us must have struggled with the time difference this morning as the numbers were slightly lower than we have been enjoying lately. Still, 140 of us enjoyed the (what felt like) earlier swim and were joined by 9 newbies. Welcome! I caught a pic of this...
