Memento Mori; 'Remember you will die'… Sobering but helpful. Bringing to our attention the understanding that, from a universal perspective, death is our default state. Life is an instant of opportunity in an endless eternity. A parenthesis of potential, bound by death.
Daily comfort, indulgence, and manufactured distractions make this easy to forget but through its acknowledgment we can better appreciate the gift within the constraint and more fully express it into being.
If your parenthesis were on the cusp of closing and there were to be no tomorrow, to what would you have given more attention, and on which distractions would you have wasted not another moment. Remember this as you thank the sun for rising.
With love,
Andrew Maher.

Winter Badge Collection 2020
Congratulations to all those who completed their Covid-19 winter swimming challenge. As we are expecting nearly 600 swimmers to qualify, the badge distribution this year will be different in order to maintain a Covid-safe environment for our volunteers. Unfortunately, only virtual handshakes and hugs from Ian, John, Anne and Pauline and contact-less distribution.
There are two ways you can obtain your badge(s)
- Place self-addressed, stamped envelope in the box provided outside the surf club between 7 am and 8 am any during the week, to Sunday 6th September, inclusive. Inside the envelope place cash for your badge/s - $10 per badge for the Covid Badge (if you completed 20 swims over winter) and an extra $10 for the Ice Cold Corona Badge if you did those swims without a wetsuit. Family members/friends sharing an envelope must clearly name each swimmer and badge achieved. Please check postage rates and size of envelope required for multiple badges.
- Post a self-addressed, stamped envelope with payment and swimmer details, as above to Ian Forster, 6 Bligh St, Northbridge. 2063.
Badges will be posted as soon as they arrive. If you have any other badges that you are missing and wish to purchase, please include cash for those as well.
Please Note: We will place a New Swimmer sheet and pink caps with the collection box so that any would-be swimmers can sign up and collect a cap.
