Thursday 29 December 2016 - Its not about the swim...

Four years ago when I wasn't in a great space my mate Woody suggested I swim at the B&B . I thought 'how can a swim make any difference?' but went along anyway. It didn't take me long to realise its not about the swim, is about the people. This is a time of year where our nearest and dearest are usually closest and its a great time to be grateful for the wonderful people in our lives. And be grateful for the wonderful people we get to say gooday to- or who become great friends - just because of this swim. It's no surprise that the Institute of Positive Psychology finds that the biggest single factor in happiness is the quality of our relationships. I think the idea is catching on, people are joining us from all over the world...some come from Alaska...the land of Polar Bears and Sarah Palin...

While others come from Chile....with delusions they are the number one football team...

While still others take the trek from Manly....

And there's a great group of people take the trouble to arrange social events, people like Brendan Maher who has his 'Nowhere near boxing day BBQ' every year, here's a few of the folks from yesterday's at Brendan's...

Stats
