Manly was a delight today. Again. Like very day. People coming along to do their own thing - swimming laps of Cabbage Tree Bay, talking/yapping with the excellent people that swimmers are and snapping photos of the sea life and water. Today I took photos of people yapping and lapping. For superb photos of turtles, underwater forms of all kinds, see yesterday's exceptional blog by Alana Abercrombie. You will be glad you did.
Megan and Marianne at the point. It was so exciting to get the shot that I forgot to worry about the waves. Sounds like a future plan for me
My people of the steps where I sit and contemplate before swimming. They just leave their gear there. Today, appearing in front of the sage advice of Guy relating to the temperature.

Winter Badge Collection 2021
The Winter badges are finally on their way! Congratulations to all those who completed their Covid-19 winter swimming challenge. As more than 500 swimmers qualified, the badge distribution this year will initially be via snail mail 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)
- Method 1. Inside a self-addressed, stamped envelope place cash for your badge/s - $10 per badge for the Winter Badge (if you completed 20 swims over winter) and an extra $10 for the WWW 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 this envelope in another envelope to Ian Forster, 6 Bligh St, Northbridge. 2063.
- Method 2. Wait until Covid restrictions on gathering are relaxed. We will then arrange a time for you to collect your badges from us in person. No promises when this will be but it may be when the vaccination rate reaches 80%.
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.
