Thursday July 9... What's the best coffee after a swim?

Today we tackled head on one of the great unanswered questions for swimmers. A question asked silently for generations of swimmers, a question many believe is too challenging to ask let alone answer. Yes, you guessed the question if not the answer... what is the best coffee to have after a swim? There were over twenty swimmers who braved not only the ocean this morning, but also took to answering this question - we even had a puppy giving this one a good tongue lashing.  If you are feeling bold (and of course beautiful) here's how the folks answered...

 

Announcing the 3000km badge

Are you amazed by our wonderful swimmers that day in day out log nice long swims. Well now, not only can you claim a 500km 1000km and 2000km badge but a 3000km badge will be available.  Those eligible swimmers who have logged approved Bold and Beautiful swims will be able to claim the 3000km badge, the first of which will be awarded at the Winter Badge Ceremony.

The official B&B swim has currently been suspended

The official B&B swim has currently been suspended until further notice. All other group activities have also been cancelled in line with government advice. We are aware that some people will still want to swim for both mental and physical health. If you are in this category please:

• swim safely at any time during daylight hours
• when you arrive at Manly, do not congregate in front of the surf club, 
• enter the water straight away, no need to stop at the point, or wait at Shelly Beach, and remember to apply social distancing protocols even in the water,
• be aware of other swimmers in the water to avoid head-on collisions, and
• leave the area as soon as you can after the swim.

The reason we have suspended the swim is that it is no longer considered safe to congregate in large groups. Thank you for your co-operation.

Stay healthy, stay loved.
