And it just gets cooler 🤪

No sun today but air temp not too bad due to cloud cover. And a nice, still ocean for today’s swim 💖

Sunday 29th Jun

Brrrrr a cold one today

Took me a bit longer to get used to the water today, but eventually I got into a rhythm and it was absolutely beautiful

Saturday 28th Jun

A cool one today!

Winter is making herself felt in the ocean at the moment 😬 Took a bit longer to warm up, but still wonderful 💙🩵

Friday 27th Jun

Perfect morning, in the water and out

Sunny, slight wind, clear water. A day made for a swim 💜

Thursday 26th Jun

Windy today but water temp wasn’t too bad

Had the place to myself because it’s cold here today… feels like 3.9 degrees according to the BOM 😜 Invigorating swim and a lovely sunny afternoon 

Wednesday 25th Jun

The currents were against me today!

Beautiful swim but longer than usual because the tides/currents were working against me 😂 Wonderful swim though, and a cormorant kept me company for a few minutes while sourcing his breakfast 💖

Monday 23rd Jun

Swam with seals today 💞

Gorgeous day and accompanied by two puppies of the sea this morning for my swim 🥰

Sunday 22nd Jun

Water is getting colder 😬

I felt the difference in water temp today. Thankfully the sun was out and it was still pleasant to swim and then walk for a coffee 💖 

Saturday 21st Jun

Winter Solstice swim 💞

Absolutely beautiful to be able to dip today. Met a lovely group of local women doing the same thing. Good vibes to all 🙏

Friday 20th Jun

Perfect day!

Lovely weather and water temp today. Sun was out so I could defrost afterwards  🌞 

Thursday 19th Jun

Oooooh getting even colder!

Water was lovely but the air temp was brutal 😂 And cloud cover kept the sun away. Still invigorating and empowering though 🫶

Wednesday 18th Jun

It’s getting cooler 💙🥰

What a magnificent dip! Crystal clear and cool. My post-swim walk and coffee needed to work extra hard to warm me up this morning 😏

Tuesday 17th Jun

Late in the day dip!

Bit cooler today as there wasn’t any sun on the beach 🥶 But still a lovely swim and then home to rug up and have a cuppa ☕️ 

Monday 16th Jun

Cold air, cool water 💦

Crystal clear today with no wind. The sand is starting to get cold underfoot though 💙

Saturday 14th Jun

Another stunning day

Beautiful water temp today with not much wind… perfect. A walk and coffee afterwards finishes the morning off in peace  🙏

Friday 13th Jun

Day for it 💙

Beautiful swim this morning. Water warmer than the air temp. A lovely walk and coffee afterwards to warm up 🥰 F#ck cancer 🖕

Wednesday 11th Jun

Floated down the inlet to the ocean 💙

Perfect weather today at Dalmeny beach. I managed to use the outgoing inlet tide to catch a ride to the ocean. The tide was getting strong though so I got out just in time before it would have taken me to NZ 😏

Tuesday 10th Jun

A balmy 18 degrees in the water today

It was colder out of the water than in today!  Beautiful and clear, with only one other swimmer. A post-swim snack of hot chips and an iced latte were called for 😏

Monday 9th Jun

Seal kept me company today

Cold today but beautiful once I adjusted to the temperature. I had a seal for company, just cruising up and down in the shallows. And a huge sea eagle overhead that was riding the wind currents looking for a meal.

Saturday 7th Jun

June long weekend has begun!

Another gorgeous day for a dip. The water was crystal clear. Cool but still enjoyable to stay in for a while. Beach all to myself again 🫶

Friday 6th Jun

Cool, clear, still water today

This morning I dipped into the beautiful ocean at Bar Beach Narooma, in the netted inlet area. Just one other swimmer. It was beautiful 💙

Thursday 5th Jun

Second ocean dip 🩵💙

Today’s dip was at Bermagui Blue Pools on the NSW far south coast. Absolutely beautiful!
