Wednesday 20th July - Bonnie Tsui, in her book "why we swim" muses "“Swimming is a way for us to remember how to play.” She also Suggests “a giddiness to being in that water”…. “It connects with a playfulness that we forget about as adults”. One things for sure, the cameraderie of the b&b community we will never grow up!
If you haven’t read “why we swim” I encourage you to get your flippers on a copy… so many interesting stories from Olympic gold medallist to a swim club in Baghdad!
water temp: 16.9 (balmy or barmy?)
air temp: 6 degrees at 7am!
conditions: smooth as silk
vibe: youthful exuberance
Today we celebrated a milestone birthday of the ever youthful marvellous mermaid Tracey walker .. Tracey and her energy inspires all of us to live life to the fullest, embrace adventure, encourages us out of our comfort zones & with a cheeky sense of humour, a reminder to always have fun & make the most out of every day !
Today is about fun - swimming is fun. Catching up with friends is fun. Playing is fun. Taking silly photos is fun. Mother Nature has a bit of fun at our expense.. so let’s embrace it! Humans and canines alike ! Not many swimmers this morning and those who swam infused the oceans energy & exited the water with smiles from ear to ear and glowing with youthful exuberance.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, stay safe, look out for each other, be kind & make the most out of the day!
