We lead with our thoughts, ‘we think therefore we are’. We like to believe that our conscious portion, that bit that floats above and looks out across the water, is the greater part of who we are.
After all, it remembers us from the past, it imagines us into the future, and discerns the direction to take us where we’d like to go.
Whilst working unseen beneath the water line, always in the present, the body, the unconscious mind, is diligently providing its buoyant force. We rarely pay it heed, until we feel we’re sinking.
Only to then resent it as a dragging anchor. But it’s more than just support. It’s the canvas upon which consciousness paints its horizons, the vehicle that allows you reach them and the feelings that lift you beyond.
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.
