Pre dip 24 photo on an overcast morning but calm waters.

Thank you to everyone who has donated.  This is amazing research and I am proud to have just completed my 23rd dip for the month.

Weather is improving!

Another amazing day at Sandringham with fellow dipper Patrice.

It was warmer than yesterday, but not much!  Warmer in than out again.  

I have posted a screen shot in my gallery of the temperature at Sandringham before I went in.  It was -0.4.  I had to get the ice off my car before heading to the beach.  I kept telling myself it will be warmer in than out.  All for this great cause.

My team mate is dipping in warm Queensland waters.  Not quite as warm but still an invigorating way to start my day

OK they were really far out and I didn't know they were there until I got out, but it was a magical way to start a really cold morning.

It was a bit rough today but I did it!

Early morning again!

Another amazing day at the beach for an early morning dip

I might have read the clock wrong and went an hour early.  It was still dark!!

Another early dip with the moon and glassy waters

The sun is up but the water is still a chilly 9 degrees.

Full moon, tide was out and it was COLD!  But I'm feeling the love and support for this great cause.

What an amazing moon for my dip!  So glassy, but cold!!

Over the week and still enjoying my morning dip

Forgot my swim cap again!

It felt rather cold without the sun!

We have been so lucky with the amazing weather, chilly but beautiful way to start the day.  Forgot my gorgeous swimming cap!

The sun was shining again and it was a bit later so I feel great!  Great to be with my team mate Jayne!

Ice on the car on the drive to the beach.  It is going to be a beautiful day though

While the sun was out, it was a very cold dip!

Dip 1 done by myself.  My team mate is working.  My daughter is going to join me tomorrow.  It was beautiful at Sandringham this morning and might have been warmer in than out.

It is August 1st this Friday so my official dipping starts but we continued our Monday morning practise in the sun!

Amazing morning with Jayne, might have only been 9 degrees in but very invigorating! And all for a great cause 

Practise swims with team juicy on a Thursday during the final week of school holidays.  It was great to be back with Jayne, even though the water temperature has dipped below 10!  Here we are warming up before the dip.

After a holiday in Queensland I am back with Jayne and Team Juicy practising our cold Water dips at Sandringham.  9 degrees in the Bay this morning!  It felt cold

Another practise with Jayne and Bella.  I am feeling the warmth from all of my supporters xx

Ready for the next swim.  Yellow bathers are on the way too!  Don't think they will keep me warm but all of my sponsors will.  Love to you all!

Jayne and I did another dip.  Colder in than out today, mild day at 15, water temperate down below 12

The water temperature is dropping! Today the temperature at Sandringham beach was down to 12.6. It felt cold!!

Our beautiful dog Juice passed away Friday night.  The vet called the next day after her blood was taken Friday morning to let me know that it looked like she had cancer.  I am doing these swims in honour of you beautiful girl and our times at the beach.

I have been swimming all year in the Bay.  Monday it was raining at 13 degrees in the water, 15 out and raining.  I hear it is down to 11 degrees in and August it might be colder!  I am going for at least 8 dips in August.  I will keep you all updated!
