I enjoyed my swim today even though thee was a lot of sea weed and the water was cold and murky. there is a badge at the end of it! also, it is a great thing to do to start the day.

My encounters with the 630 am swimmers
Helen used to play water polo. it is a great game. I think it was the first team sport to be in the Olympics.
Here is Alistair back from Ironman in Cairns. He reports there were no box jellyfish. The bike section was windy. The training of the silver wet suit group at BB put them in good stead for the event. Just saying
At the point
At Shelly. John Foster
Calamari
This fitness watch was left behind. Was it because there are only 750 steps on it? If you want it back, Ian has it.
did you know that the blow hold of a whale looks like a nose?
what I am reading: Annie Proulx's new book Barkskins. So far so good. I think I will be reading that for a long while.
Stats:
no newbies - although there was one fr the cheeky swim. did they mean to come along that day for the first time or were they really surprised
Swimmers - between 100 and 200
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.
Cake Stall Saturday 25th June
We haven't had a cake stall or a while. On Sunday Karen Sander and I are skydiving from 15,000 feet with Margaret-Anne Hayes who at 76 will be the oldest lady to have jumped from such a height! We are raising funds for Can Too/Cure Cancer and The Kolling Institute. Please bring some money for a slice or cake and if you could bring something edible to sell it would be much appreciated! Or you can donate by clicking this link https://www.cantoo.org.au/fundraisers/JumpintoJuneJumpintoLife1971
