You are reluctant to get out of bed on your swimming day in winter especially when it is a cold day but you do. You get to Manly and find a spot to park. The early swimmers go in and they are exiting when the 7 am goes out. You check the temperature on the board but you are going to swim anyway. What a great start to the day!

Winter swimming
The B&B Winter swimming season starts on 1st June. Although the water temperature may be a little colder than you might like, there are several advantages of swimming in winter, including flat seas, good visibility and no bluebottles. Perhaps the biggest advantage is that you can also qualify for a winter badge by swimming a minimum of 20 times between 1st June and 31st August. You must also swim in at least 7 different weeks. If you manage to do all of your qualifying swims without a wetsuit (or other thermal enhancing equipment), you will also qualify for the coveted WWW badge (Winter without wetsuit). Start now, and don’t forget to log your swims to qualify.
