“I’m not fit,” Matt muttered at the steps and then blew everyone away in the swim to Edwards Beach far cone this morning. Picture a flock of birds flying in […]
You read it right! We had eight idiots forming a circle at the post today with Chris showing off his moves. Look for him at the Synchronized Swimming World Championships […]
Glad we have been in training fellow Idiots…..Matt McGuire is likely to turn up on Friday morning for a trip/swim down memory lane ! Suggest we go to the other […]
If you haven’t already heard, the Steps Christmas Party is this Sunday 18 December 2011 at 8AM. BYO a few tasty treats for the masses or yourself and something to […]
(Monday) Whilst the swim at 8.30am was uncrowded and terrific, I was a little spooked by the small stingray that drifted under me at the very Northern corner of the […]
A bit of a breeze ruffled the otherwise calm waters of Balmoral this morning. It was a cast of thousands yet again showing up for roll call. The Seasoned Idiots […]
Sunny weather heralded the start of the week as the crowds assembled for the morning ritual. Helen was there after a long sojourn at McMasters. Chris arrived with daughter Kate […]
Another warm start to the day with even the flies feeling lethargic after yesterday’s scorcher. Heading to the post this morning were Bevan, Dave, Chris, Linda, and David. Sutho was […]
A balmy start to Monday after a heavy downpour yesterday afternoon. The rain certainly didn’t deter the flies as they were in great numbers this morning. Fortunately, Stephen, Bevan and […]
It was a chilly start for the first day of November and Dave and Bevan had good reason to question the wetsuit rule. The water temp of 19C felt icy […]

With a water temp of 18.2C, the desire to don a wetsuit had never been stronger. However Bevan and Chris weren’t having a bar of it and after a little […]
At the beginning of the year, Mark Kulmar from Manly Hydraulics Laborotory was kind enough to supply me with a text file containing daily average sea surface temperatures recorded by […]
Six lined up for this morning’s start with Sutho officiating. Stephen shot out first – jumping the gun some may argue – followed by Bevan, Dave, David and Chris. Linda […]
The crowd at the steps this morning was staggering. Sutho was leaving the beach as (sharp intake of breath here) Stephen, Bevan, Richard, Judy, Linda, Dave, Bruce, Louise, and David […]
Dave is first to admit when he’s being a slacker and such is the case with his 1 week hiatus from joining the idiots in their morning ritual. He did […]
It sure was better than being in the office for the day – take a Friday off and head to Tumut with a couple of kayaks. The aim? To paddle […]
At 6.55am today I dived in for a quick 2 minute dip (icy cold) and spotted 3 swimmers rounding the “farkone” and heading towards the Almora Steps. I noticed they were swimming far […]
Super morning…crisp and clear above & below water….hats off or should that be caps off again to Judy and Linda for swimming nude again….well that’s without wetsuits to Bevan and […]
