I guess if you have to swim lengths, doing it in this ocean pool at Bondi with waves crashing over you might sweeten the pill somewhat. Naturally it's also shark- and jellyfish-free, unlike the rest of the place ... First sighting of the Beware of Bluebottles sign today :(
update september 2020 ...
decided that, after five-and-a-half years on this fabulous site, I should say a little more about myself than the two sentences...
Gosh -- that's an amazing place to be able to swim laps!! My vision is so awful that I need that solid blue line at the bottom of the pool to stay straight -- this looks both exciting and scary -- especially with that huge powerful wave!
This is an amazing shot... I had not heard of this place before so, of course, I had to look it up. Wonderful! Your shot has so much motion and action in it, with that powerful wave.
Thank you for your kind comments. It was inspiring to meet Annie @annied, someone who loves all wildlife, chooses to see crocodiles, sharks etc up close, and loves the ocean. Think I have to accept I'll always be a weed. Most of the beaches we visited have an ocean pool at the edge, which is delightful
At first I thought it was a cool shot of waves crashing against a wall, and then I saw the swimmers, a cool pool and a really cool shot. The high contrast b&w gives it a dramatic feel!
