The week before Christmas - Sagittarius season, silliness, sleepiness, summer, so sydney....
Water temperature: 19.4 degrees
Air temperature at 7am: 14.6 degrees
Conditions: Silky, serene, sensational...
Vibe: a bit of sleepiness... perhaps still recovering from the Epic B&B Xmas party?
Its the week before Christmas, and all through the Bay, Christmas Cossie clad swimmers are eager to play
Full to the brim of christmas cheer, joyful swimmers grinning from ear to ear
Lots of tired, smiley faces, ready for a break, after another tough year, how much more can we take?
Hanging for downtime, no emails, sleeping in, rest... rejuvenation, refresh, bathing in nature, ocean therapy at its very best
Catching up with friends, family and more, welcoming visitors who arrive at our door
Hoping mother nature sends Sunny days, swims in crystal clear, calm waters, full of fish; as the advent candles burn, make your wish
As snowflakes fall & Christmas lights sparkle across the world, and silly Christmas decorations adorn houses, boys and girls;
We love the contagion of Christmas festive joy and cheer, so look after each other; check in with your family, friends and neighbours, share food, company, wine, cocktails, mocktails and beer!
as always, have a wonderful Wednesday, stay safe, stay sane, look out for each other!
Merry Christmas!

SUMMER BADGES
As the Summer swimming season approaches, we look forward to our Summer swim challenges. By popular demand, we have decided to retain the summer challenge and super swimmer badges which were both well-received last summer. This year we will have the following badges:
- Summer Challenge - swim 30 times over summer (1 Dec to 28 Feb), and swim in at least 7 different weeks
- Summer Super Swimmer - swim 50 times over summer
Three long distance swims are also on offer, all of which earn a badge:
- A 6 km swim will be held every summer Saturday morning (depending on conditions) generally starting at 7 am. The first 6 km swim will be on Saturday 3rd December.
- There will be a 10 km swim once a month over summer also starting with the 7 am swim. Dates for these will be announced in the blog. The first 10 km swim will be on 10th December.
- If these swims are too long for you, you can try a Triple Manly to Shelly swim any day during Summer (distance 3.5 km) from 6.30 or 7 am.
If you are unsure of the routes and protocols for these swims, please ask at the desk before you swim. When swimming these longer distances, we request that, for safety reasons, you stay with the group. We also request that you do not swim in dangerous conditions. The quest for a little cloth badge is not worth putting your life at risk. Enjoy your swimming. In order to be eligible for any/all of these badges you must log your swims in i-Log. If you don’t have a log-in, please contact Ian ([email protected]) .
