Not just for the bold and beautiful! by ankers70

Not just for the bold and beautiful!

Early morning at Manly Beach, Sydney, where every morning hundreds of people gather to swim from Manly to Shelly Beach and back in a triangular course.

Not for me! I walked while family swam, and I took photographs. Beautiful day and it seemed as though most of Sydney was there for a swim, including those wearing the distinctive pink caps of the Bold and Beautiful Club:

Looks great fun. 2 problems for me - I am not a strong swimmer and don’t do early mornings.

Great photo. I was thinking it would be could, but it’s summer there now, right?

Yes, it is summer here and the temperature was 22°C at 6:30am so quite mild. @cheeryb

I know what you mean. I didn't do it because, even though I am an early person, I am not fond of swimming in the sea swell. @wakelys

It's a spectacular event.

Yes it is and it happens every day. Even in winter there are some hardy souls who swim there. @borof
