The lifeguards do an awesome job at keeping the public safe at Manly. They are always on the lookout and act on information as soon as feasibly possible. There was a supposed Bronze Whaler sighting this morning but luckily most of us managed to get our swim in first which was calm, clear and jimble free today! 👍
One of these swimmers was in such a hurry to get to the beach she hadn't quite finished putting her cozzie on properly. Luckily Michael was on hand to cover up the bare bits for the photo!
These ladies were in perfect formation as I swam past and they looked like they were about to embark on a spot of perfectly practised synchronised swimming...
...it was synchronised, but perhaps not perfectly formed! You be the judge.
Fiona wanted to show us Love Heart Rock and as we swam up to it, a huge ray swam underneath us and darted off quickly - luckily the rock stayed still long enough to get into the photo!
Shelly shenanigans and a fish named 'Spot'.
And some fish named Stripey. Must get confusing for their poor old mum.
Our resident fury fish Trev was out today. Damo, his owner, says that Trev swims faster than Karl and Cory from the BnB!
These ladies have their own swim group. They call themselves 'Swim, Swam, Swum!'. They have the best collection of colourful swimmers!
Love Birds
Clare, never one for wasting a moment's time, is getting in some invisible flute practice with tutor Fi, happy with her progress.
This guy had a cool T-Shirt that matched the surfboards behind him. He also looked a bit like my favourite person from the Young Ones. Thanks for letting me take your photo!
Have a great week everyone!
