Good afternoon all...
Given that it's almost the silly season! I thought it only right to get the 'caroling' started early. No to be outdone by the original composer of the 12 days of Christmas, Frederic Austin, I rewrote a version more akin to our kind. You can sing it in the shower, sing it to your kids, save it up for your next karaoke session or sing it whilst you swim or even break it ou rat the upcoming BnB Chrissy party...the skies the limit. The printed version is below but I have also included a short version taken "on the fly" this morning and featuring lots of our gorgeous peeps...and a big thank you to you all. It's hard to sing first thing in the morning!!
But before you all rush to check it out, a report on this mornings conditions. The weather was drizzly, humid and cloudy and the seas were spicy and full of energy. The temp was around 19.8 and the vis wasn't bad for such choppy conditions. Lots of fun to be had by all. So get out there and enjoy.
So without further adieu:

B&B is BACK!!
From 1st December the Bold and Beautiful Swim Squad will resume. This means that the regular daily 7 am group swim will recommence. We request that you note the following:
- Current NSW government regulations do not require a Covid Plan for outdoor active recreation activities with up to 1000 fully vaccinated adults. If you are not fully vaccinated, please refrain from swimming with the group until Government regulations allow.
- Maintain physical distancing. NSW Health advice is to help reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection by staying 1.5 metres away from other people where possible and avoiding close contact with people you do not live with. In order to stay safe, please observe all Government requirements related to this aspect. It would be helpful and safer if swimmers use the beach, rather than the walkway to gather before and after the swim.
- Log your swim on our log-in site (HERE), so that we have a means of assisting contact tracing should this become necessary. If you don’t have a log-in, please sign up here.
- Be aware of and courteous to other swimmers. There will be many swimmers in the bay at once. If you collide with another swimmer, please stop and check that there has been no injury sustained, and the other swimmer does not need assistance.
Our information desk will operate every day from 6.30 to 7 am. New swimmers can sign up at that time and collect their free pink cap, courtesy of Manly Paradise Beachfront Motel and Apartments.
Volunteers Greeters Needed
In order to lighten the load on our regular and aging team, we are calling for volunteers to assist by helping at our information desk each morning to greet and induct new swimmers. You can volunteer for a regular day (weekly, fortnightly or monthly), or for random, backup assistance. You will need to be at Manly before 6.30 am to set up the desk and be able to pack away the desk after your swim. Training will be provided if required. Please contact Ian([email protected]) if you can assist. This is your chance to help ensure that our treasured group continues to flourish.
