With the 'interesting' weather forecast predicted for the week ahead it was great to be presented with some idyllic conditions. With the crisp breeze ushering many into the warmer water (21 degrees) swimmers were treated to a slightly flatter swim today - a perfect way to get ready for International Pancake Day tomorrow (or the whole week if you're me).
"A special day celebrated in many countries around the world. It is celebrated in English-speaking countries like the UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada. In France, the USA and other countries, it is called 'Mardi Gras' or 'Fat Tuesday'."
Challenge for the (rainy) week ahead:
- Photo of the best looking pancake ensemble
- Photo of the flattest pancake
- Bonus points for anyone with a portable stove down at the swim tomorrow :)
Anyway, all this pancake talk has made me hungry so im out - enjoy all the photos and have a great week all - happy swimming (and eating)

Covid has brought with it many changes for everyone all around the world and B&B is no exception.
Whilst we have lots to be extremely grateful for in Australia and within B&B, a number of our swimmers have been personally affected and are experiencing challenging times.
In response to this it was suggested that some swimmers might like to support their fellow swimmers, by utilising their skills where they could.
As such, within our daily attendance software we have included a ‘profession section’. Swimmers can now, should they choose, list their profession and location within their profile on our website. This then allows anybody within our B&B community to: ‘Check with B&B First’ when looking for a resource / tradesperson to use.
If you would like to participate in this, please go to our B&B daily attendance website: webapp.
Click on your name, top right. Then click on ‘my profession’ and add your details.
To search if a fellow B&B swimmer has the skills you’re looking to use, click on your name, top right, then ‘Find a professional’.
Don’t forget to keep on logging your swims too.
You don’t want to miss out on your Covid Summer Badge or your Corona Super Swimmer Summer Badge. You might be awarded a Budgy Smuggler Voucher as the lucky recipient of random swimmer of the month or year. Most importantly it’s lovely to see who has swim each day. Don’t forget, if you can’t swim at Manly, you can still log a Covid Swim.
Please keeping swimming, look after yourselves and stay connected.
