Everything is a wave, a frequency. The universe is music, and you are a symphony.
Your spine, the oldest part of your central nerve system, contains foundational neural networks that are constantly firing patterns of signature frequencies. This music provides rhythms that allow your heartbeat, your breathing and basic movement including walking and swimming.
Clarity of these patterns is actually a clinical indicator of health and longevity, a life being well lived. But these central patterns are constantly assailed by our environment. Not only the unnatural modern world around us, but also by our internal environment, our worrisome thoughts and habitual anxieties. This causes interference or 'static' in our natural rhythms.
Rhythmic physical activities, such as pranayama breathing, walking, and swimming help bring our rhythms to the fore, reducing the static so our physiology begins to hear itself again with ease.
The sensation you feel upon completion of your morning swim is who you actually are. That blissful moment is the soundtrack to your life, the waves through which you exist in this world.

WWW badge.
Please be aware that to obtain the coveted WWW badge, the only part of the body that is allowed to be covered by wet suit material. Are the feet (booties allowed). Apart from the feet, the body should be covered in non-wet suit material.
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 6am and the final 7am swim (or double or triple or other sanctioned swims). Swims NOT to be logged outside of these times for social and safety reasons. Management.
