Bold & Beautiful Swim Squad is an inclusive, informal group who meet at the southern end of Manly Beach and swim at 7am, 7 days a week from Manly to Shelly Beach and back. All swimmers wear hot pink 'Bold & Beautiful' swim caps, sponsored by ManlyParadise Beachfront Motel and Apartments. The 'Bold & Beautiful' head out from Manly, gather at the point before venturing over to Shelly Beach where we wait for the last swimmer then depart for our return trip. You can always find a group of 'Bold & Beautiful' re-energising at a local cafe for coffee / brekkie after the swim. Disclaimer: The 'Bold & Beautiful' is an informal activity between a group of friends. You are responsible for your own safety at all times. Anyone is welcome, but everyone is participating at their own risk; this is not an official event and there is no water safety.

      But then Ian once-an-engineer-always-an-engineer Nicol said, Drinks has most likely done around 5000 swims so it’s still potentially close to top 20%. The above photo was taken close to the surface. The start of the warm weather conditions, but fear not the days are not always like this...

     There’s something pretty special about arriving at Manly Beach in the dark, when everything is still quiet and there are just a few locals around. You hear the gentle murmur of chit-chat, take in the fresh morning air, and watch as the first light of sunrise begins to change the beach.Sl...

     Sunny morning, ? Water temperature as thermometer broken. Murky water to the point, ok across the bay. But we swam north and it was murky all the way, although the waves were good. John said the “booty” stick was to show bo**ie campers (6am Mon-Wed-Fri all welcome) can do anything. Has...

     IWT 18.5 OWT 21 Getting flatter and sunnier After a break of a few weeks, it was such a joy to get back into the ocean. Halfway swim for me today, so a Shelly Beach view for this blog. The water was more undulating than choppy, warmer than a few weeks ago and positively warm...

     Bluebottles in the swim. Seagulls (expected) and pigeons (not expected) and dogs covering the broad sand because it was VERY low tide I thought. Some of the 630 went north but Sarah and Jon completed their earl swim in the dark and wove between the bluebottles. One swimmer refused to belie...

     Grey, calm and gentle For those wanting to recreate the winter mood, but enjoy a warmer ocean, today is the day for you to swim. Gentle, flat, calm and drizzly. Or maybe a visit to one of our partners for a sauna afterwards, instead, with Harbour Heat? With the B&B discount BBSSQUAD15. Bes...

     I was pleased to hear Arisa Trew Australia’s youngest gold medal Olympian (skateboard) say that winning was “cool” because I understood the word used that way. Has it come back in or has it remained. Who knows What I do know is that it was literally cool today in the air. But the wat...

     Monday 12th October 2026 – Misty Monday morning – water 19.4 degrees. Very misty morning generally means a HOT day ahead. We swam north@6:15 through patches of much warmer water. Caught waves past the pipe and at several other places on our return swim. Check out the poster for a chari...

     Home is where the heart is, so the saying goes. Soaking up the vibe of the spiritual home. Travelling the planet is a great reminder of the amazing privilege we have of being able to come to such a wonderful location pretty much for free and enjoy the ocean, the camaraderie and the great c...
