Lovely morning for a swim and this time of year is great for sunrises, for those of us that swim at 7am we don't get them all year round !
Perfect morning for yoga on the beach.
Hugh, Jim, Greg and Sarah from Sales said still no viz at 6am and they were all bumping into each other, dodgem car like, but no reported injuries. It was,of course, still a great swim.
Golden Girls of the WOW's
The bench crew are down in numbers as people are travelling, again 😉.
There was a bit of a cool breeze in the more exposed hangouts so Drinks Express moved to the warmth of the door, also affectionately known as sauna corner, a popular winter spot.
Georgina, Deb and Lisa braved the breeze.
Warming up with a coffee is just the ticket.
So viz was unchanged from yesterday, okay but not great. I did see a cuttlefish but I know there are more out there. Still calm and a lovely swim even if it's getting a wee bit colder.
Amanda (have a great day!)

1. Winter swimming
The Winter swimming season is nearly 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. If you don’t know how to log your swims, contact Ian ([email protected]).
2. Bold & Beautiful x Red Demo Day
Red Paddle Co. will be showcasing their mens and womens Waterproof Changing Robes with a live demo at our 7 am swim on Saturday 1st June.
