Sorry quickie blog today, very busy !
Not sure it was announced yesterday, but apparently we had 70 Newbies yesterday,
That's got to be an all time high !
Is it the camaraderie of the B&Bers & wanting to be on the blog
but just whip a camera out, and within a few seconds they are in a group photo !

Ian led a very small pack of swimmers today after the announcement
of a rather large shark spotted off the point ( the place where John Kelly wants us to wait at)

Gayle chose the pool at halfway.
JK would have been proud ! they waited even before they got to the point
(and stayed that way all the way to Shelly) something about a shark sighting keeps people together !!
Shanes always up for a cuddle with these gorgeous ladies.
Michelle Sparkles who has the most gorgeous mum Audrey

Bluey's seemed to be mostly on the shore, but I hear a couple of people got stung !
including Les-Bubbles who was hoping for some trout pout lips but it didn't happen ;-(
Patrick Coleman (Who is a wonderful guy) was about the last of the swimmers to get out today !
Greeted by his 2 gorgeous children.
10k swims..
February and March 2015/16. The first 10 km swim was on Saturday 12 December. Watch the blog for details of the second 10 km swim, to be held in February. I think 13th Feb is the day for the next 10km. Book it in
Our new badge, the Shelly Triple, involves a triple lap of Cabbage Tree Bay (i.e. swim to Shelly Beach and back to The Point three times - total 3.5 km). This swim can be completed any day and should be logged on the i-log system. Since this is designed for those who are unable (or unwilling) to do the longer swims, this badge is only available to those who haven't completed a 6 km or 10 km swim during the season. Management says the rule about no triple badge if you get a 6km badge is set in stone.
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. Also, if you have a bit more experience, keep an eye out for new swimmers who might need company. Do read these excellent tips on staying safe in the surf. To read, or even download, click here.

Love you all ! !
