How lucky are we to get to swim with such amazing creatures like the critically endangered Grey Nurse Shark as lots of us have done this the past few days! Today was another stunning morning with calm seas, great visibility and loads of sea life. Water temp was down to 18.6 though brrrrr...
It's World Ocean Day tomorrow. We must swim in the best bit of ocean you can get!
A big Drinks Express group again today
The lovely Maddie and Nicci warming up together post-swim. No wetsuits for these hard core ladies.
It's Dan Racine's last day today before he heads off to Dubai for a few years. There were hugs, kisses, croissants and champagne a-plenty!
Dan and 'The Mermaids' one of the largest 'tribes' of the B&B and probably the most sociable.
The Drinks Express 'tribe'
The tribe that congregate around the bench. The have lots of dogs in their tribe. Derek is the guru ;-)
Karen aka 'Shep' swimming over the sea-grass
My arty pic today. Love the colours of sparkly fish, rocks and kelp as you swim close to the rocks...
So many Giant Cuttlefish sightings recently
Crimson Banded Wrasse
You often see a Catfish around the sea grass
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.
