It's the last day of autumn and I thought it was going to be very wintery after the winds on Monday, but it was a Sydney stunner.
Water temp is on the way down at 19.4c, although reports are that it's a lot colder at Shelley. Viz isn't greatbut the sunshine and calm seas help make up for it. Plenty of fish about but that was all that I spotted today.
The post swim relaxing on the benches and dog minding! Thanks Maddie and Derek for watching Pickle, who is a new addition to the swim.
Robyn, Nicci and Pickle keeping the wall warm waiting for more WOW'S to return.
Have a great, sunny day! Hopefully tomorrow is just as nice for the first winter swim!

Winter swimming
The Winter swimming season is finally here! Although the water temperature may be a little colder than you might like, there are several advantages of swimming in winter, including flat seas, good visibility and no bluebottles. Perhaps the biggest advantage is that you can also qualify for a WINTER BADGE by swimming a minimum of 20 times between 1st June and 31st August. You must also swim in at least 7 different weeks. If you manage to do all of your qualifying swims without a wetsuit (or other thermal enhancing equipment), you will also qualify for the coveted WWW badge (Winter without wetsuit). Start now, and don’t forget to log your swims to qualify.
