A total of 273 swimmers enjoyed spectacular conditions this morning. Many in questionable attire. For a good cause. Of course.
A brainchild of fellow blogger and aquatic clown Roger, the Bold & Beautiful held its first ever 'Spring into Summer' fancy dress charity swim, raising money for Royal Far West.
Many regulars answered the call:

Back at the club, Roger seemed pleased with the morning. I'm told we raised $322 for Royal Far West.
