Ok guys… Seriously… There’s a lot of people missing the swim these last weeks!
Actually, the last few days I’ve been chatting with more Blue Gropers than swimmers… It’s easier to see them!
So, I thought that we should change that. How? Making the other people who’s not coming jealous!
I only started swimming with you guys a few months ago but when someone comes with the grey jumper and shows me the Whale Badge I die of jealousy. And that is one of the reasons that makes me come every morning for the swim! I wouldn’t forgive myself if I miss such an event again!!!
I thought then, that we should invent a few stories to make the people jealous and then they will come more often!
But you’ll need to help me!!
For example, in my case, this morning, when I arrived a Shelly I saw two sharks and a Yellow Tail… All good until I realised that they were playing poker together!!! I had time to get a picture of that! So… I’m so sorry if you didn’t come but you missed it!
Or what about Tim and Dave who were surprised because Sterling arrived the first one in the swim this morning!! And yes… you missed it!
Then there’s Rusty who is still in shock because que saw the Spaniard going downstairs for the swim before than him this morning. And you know what? You missed it!
Then Dr. Becky… She was frozen and she couldn’t tell me what she was surprised for… but I’m sure she will tell us later
And what about Sky?! She was surprised because this morning she saw waves… and that was actally what the surf forecast said… not really common in our days…
Then Kelly. She told me saw a fish… But you know… she is easy to impress
And finally Alex. Ok. I asked him to make a surprise face and that was the closest he got.
Anyway, please, help me and tell everyone what did you see this morning that was special to make everyone jealous!
Shalom everyone.

This morning a new swimmer, Harry Paraballs, signed in but I never had a chance to give him “the speech” or take a photo. Anyone else see him?
