Friday 19 May An Insufficiency of Superlatives

I think there are no regulation collective nouns. It seems the collective noun for swim days like today should be an Insufficiency of Superlatives. Exceptional day to swim; superb etc. Hi Chad - the last time I saw him he was doing swim/run crawl from Shelly pool to North Curl... Continue reading

Good Friday 7 April 2023 Things we know

Today was a day to know your ability against the conditions. Waves - not massive but regular and biggish; a pretty strong rip and a bit of murk. Still very nice in. We also know that the triple crown races were on today. Some contenders getting ready: We also know... Continue reading

Friday 24 March 2023 Something to think about

The clock above the surf club is off. Maybe it is just a fault or maybe it is a sign that we should not worry about the time but just enjoy the moment. Whoever swam in the ten out of ten conditions today would have been in the moment because... Continue reading

Friday 10 February 2023 Swim Swim Swim

Bit of a current, bit of waves, bit murky. Still a lovely swim. Although it was a bit of a downer to exit the swim and find the beach had been closed for pollution. That did not however deter the orange jelly fish at all. Avoiding getting waves on you... Continue reading

Fridya 27 January 2023 - Do it your way

Splendid day for the beach today. Waves rolling in gently like today makes me understand what people mean when they say they enjoy the waves. The swim was lovely with a good chunk of the algae gone. I very much enjoy watching skilful body surfing and where better can you... Continue reading

Friday 30 December 2022 Swim to boost your endolphins

Exercising makes you feel good by releasing endorphins but swimming lets loose something much better - endolphins and today, actual dolphins who were happy to swim to and fro among the returning swimmers. I have good reason to believe they were conjured up from the sea by Anne. or maybe... Continue reading

15 December 2022 Friday unified tribes

I am sure I was not the only swimmer today who saw all the different groups swimming about and thought of the unification of Italy. That beautiful country with all of its regional beauty and distinct features and culture was unified in the 1800s but each region retained its own... Continue reading

Friday 21 October 2022 - Not for the faint hearted

So my photos today are on land or from a distance - like a surveillance oeprative - because there was a powerful surf, big rip in the corner, occasional big sets, several board riders in the area where I would usually swim, and blue bottles. But the temperature was 18.9... Continue reading

Friday 7 October 2022 Leap of faith

I saw the bluebottles washed up on the beach and the waves looked a bit vigorous so I thought it would be the swimming pool for me today. BUT the early swimmers said there was no sign of blue bottles in the water. So we went in. There were no... Continue reading

Your expectations can affect how things turn out. The rain overnight and the slightly cooler temperatures made people wonder about coming for a swim. But those who did were very glad. Calm waters. Gentle waves. Clear as it can be. Lots of fish about. Delightful. The sky was dramatic so... Continue reading

Friday 12 August 2022 - A Summery* swim...

Even though there was no sunshine and no warmth, YES it was a summery swim today because it was massively bumpy and strong. A good swim but it was a bit of work. One of those days where you turn to breathe or take a photo and a wave hits... Continue reading
