Whether it's depression, anxiety, addictive behaviour, any number of terminal lifestyle diseases, or simply comparing where you are right now with where you want to be in life. There are two factors that seem to continually pop up as solutions, both in the medical literature and in the myriad of individual experience.
Meaning and Connection.
No matter how long the journey may seem, and regardless of the beguiling shortcuts on offer, it almost always comes back to deviating from the current ordinary and taking a path of meaning and connection.
Of course you'll probably never know the meaning you seek when you start, nor have a clue of what it is you need to connect with at the beginning.
The important thing is to begin, the best time is today, a good place is right here...
What meaning(s) does your swim have for you? How does it help you find connection?

Winter Badge Ceremony!
You’ve done the hard yards and earned your Winter Badge(s), now come and collect your badges with all the pomp and ceremony the B&B can muster. Bring along $10 for each badge you have earned (correct money appreciated). The venue is the Royal Far West Centre (Wentworth Avenue, Manly) on Sunday 22nd September, straight after the regular swim! Everyone is welcome, family, friends and swimmers alike.
A $5 donation will be payable to the RFW at the gate for hosting this event, and .... RFW will provide a FREE breakfast (sausage sandwich and a coffee/tea). Bookings are essential to ensure there is enough food. Book here for Badge Ceremony.
All 2019 winter badge qualifiers will be presented with their well-earned badge(s), so whether you are getting one personally or you want to enjoy the celebrations of your fellow swimmers, a great morning is guaranteed, so come along, soak up the atmosphere and get inspired for the upcoming summer badges.
In conjunction with the badge ceremony, Royal Far West will be holding a raffle with great prizes, so don't forget to bring along extra money for the raffle (credit card payment facilities will be available for the raffle).
