Here is David (who has arrived to swim from Washington DC and maybe prompted by the blog ) and Matthew from Dee Why, his son.
The conditions were pretty good today so I’m sure they enjoyed the swim I watched the FFS doing their routine as a non athlete I have watched and heard them from a distance. I did not know what they were saying but thought it was what I imagine athletes talk about you know, “Watch your posterior tibialis in that bumpy section” or “I don’t think your tricep is working effectively on the run in” etc But Paul told me that they take turns to have a rant about issues of concern to them. That puts a different complexion on it. I may join and talk about the misuse of semi colons before a list which is surely one of the biggest preoccupations of many adult in Australia today. I just hope it is not like when an acquaintance told me everyone was coming in costume to a party… I wonder what the today topic was: people littering? people throwing batteries into the bin and therefore landfill? Who can know
This lot thought it was pretty good enough for more than one lap
Suzette and pals swam today and found it to be pretty good despite reports they had heard of conditions being awful
Nice water and sky
On the ramp
What a delight to see Sarah and Jonathan on the beach before going for their swim
The 630 swimmers are swimming IN THE DARK. I saw this lot return. Phew
