Ski gloves are the go for Shelley, with her brother Saul.
The line up for a cold shower?? The tap water is cooler than the sea water.
Beautiful Polly patiently waiting, lucky she has a fur coat.
Kerry, very happy that she only has a few more "cossie" swims to tick of her WWW goal.
Nice to see the water clarity is back, so that we can see the pipe fish at the point again.
It was a little bit grey today when the 7am gang swam into Manly.
Sparkles and Kerry, doing their bit to clear the last of the rubbish after the storms.
Someone thought that if felt more like 13.2 than 18.2 degrees in the water today.
Interesting to see the changed landscape from the water after the storm. I wonder how long the gates will be there before the path is fixed and we can walk to Shelly again?
A beautiful way to start the day.
PS we hear that Jules is half way there! Good luck Jules - we are all cheering you on.

It's that time again. Winter is here ... and so are the winter badges. To recap; Winter swim season runs from 1 June to 31 August. To qualify for a winter badge, you must:
swim at least 20 times during this period
• swim in at least 7 different weeks
• log your swims
Clarity on the WWW badge. Please be aware that to obtain the coveted WinterWithoutWetsuit badge, the only parts of the body where wetsuit material is a permitted covering are the feet (booties allowed). Apart from the feet, the rest of the body must be in non-wetsuit material. Don't forget to check the "without wetsuit" button on the login screen
Why not give it a try? Any questions - email Ian: [email protected]
BE NICE
Also, a reminder that the philosophy of the B&B group is that we are a group activity - and that swims are only to be logged for swims made between the hours of 6 am and the final 7 am swim (or double or triple or other sanctioned swims). Swims are not to be logged outside of these times for social and safety reasons.
