Bold and Beautiful acknowledges the spread of Corona virus is continuing to worsen
Public health advice is changing continuously and beaches around NSW are being closed for the safety of all
Many of us are hearing conflicting advice, and likely have our own conflicting opinions. We are hearing pleas to both ’stop the swim’ and ‘keep the swim going’. It is likely that public health advice and council enforcements will soon prevent people from attending a beach at all
For those people who feel that swimming is currently not a safe option, please do not swim
For those people who feel that swimming is currently an essential part of their day for overall health and fitness, including their mental health at these very difficult times, it is paramount you respect and follow government, council and public health advice
Bold & Beautiful is aware that as an informal group of friends that come together at our own risk to swim together for health, fun, fitness and friendship, even if we sent out a message ‘closing the swim’, the majority of swimmers who are turning up, would still currently choose to turn up and swim together themselves while the beach remains open
Bold & Beautiful can’t stress strongly enough that every person has the responsibility to assess all risks for themselves, consider their actions on others, follow government and public health advice and act in the best interest of the wider population. As such we urge you all to please:
• Avoid gatherings of large groups of people
• Continue to practice social distancing - 1.5metres between anyone at all times, this includes: arriving to, swimming, congregating at Shelly Beach and apres swim
• If you choose to turn up to swim at Manly Beach at 6.30, 7am etc..., appreciate this is likely to be a popular time, and as such it is paramount you follow government advice, and consider your friends and the wider community. As such, please:
◦ spread out up the walkway, access the beach from varying areas, the ramp, stairs etc… ensure 1.5m distance from fellow swimmers, including as you enter the water and swim
◦ Ensure the walkway has enough open space at all times for other users to enjoy and practice social distancing
◦ Consider changing at your cars, other areas of the beach, avoiding changing rooms and leaving belongings clumped together in large groups
◦ Spread out at Shelly Beach, move up onto the beach allowing other swimmers space to swim to shore and spread out, ensuring the 1.5metre distance between everyone at all times
◦ Practice safe swimming and social distancing any time you choose to swim, avoiding collisions in the water
◦ Swim to Shelly Beach along the rock wall side of the ocean and back to Manly on the ocean side of the ocean
◦ Disperse as quickly as possible after you swim
◦ Consider all ocean risks as at any other times
◦ Be mindful of other users of public areas at all times
Please note there will be no Bold & Beautiful ceremony on Anzac Day this year
Remember swimming with Bold & Beautiful is like family to so many people. Treat fellow swimmers with the love and respect you would treat a family member
