We hope you all appreciate how early Glistening Dave arrives at swim locations in order to record his panos, just for you.
Only at Bondi? Well, only at Bondi, and somewhere in Victoria.
Warming-up by the built environment.
Megapixelly disadvantaged ...
They used people to mark the course at Lake Bondi.
White with two, thanks.
Some people thought it was cold at North Bondi. 16 deg C, cold?
I'm sure I've won something.
Cake.
Exercise yard.
Cake for North Bondi's birthday. We sqw one bloke have three pieces!
Bondi architecture.
The colour and pageantry of Bondi.
... a few hours later.
Neil Rogers has a reputation at North Bondi. Now they won't let him near the beach, and they post guards to keep him in check.
Some people just won't agree on anything.
Siiiggghhh ...
They're all very intense, very, very serious ... except for Luke Harris. Someone's either told him a joke or goosed him.
Lake Bondi in summer.
Bloody Kiwis ...

"Thim's fightin' words!"
Geez, we shouldna done that ... Whose idea was it?
How girls run.
One of these characters is chief financial officer of a respected City financial institution. The other is deck hand on the Manly ferry. Can you tell which is which?
Turn around, sport. There's a much better pitcher with that stroke behind you.
Happy to see us?
The eternally patient Nicolee Goins always has time to smile for the camera.
We all deal with cold in our own ways.
Balkan rhetoritician David O'Brien (centre) is pretty pleased with his conditioning this season. He's certainly swimming well, but perhaps he's preparing his body for the English Channel.
Tangle.
Gooner Humphrey is very pleased with himself, for he was the inspiration behind the emotional outpouring towards Fairfax Meeja Ltd over the multi-nationa;'s handling of the Mosh Pit Classic@Manly last weekend. The debate really got started when Gooner, after several email.s that the Fairfax people ignored, wrote to them again accusing them of being "capitalist pigs". That got them going, and so did the debate. And, as we all know, debate is very, very healthy for people in authority.
Reg, tactical leader of the People's Front of Judea, demonstrates the secret hand signal that admits would be members of the PFJ to covert meetings in the back suburbs of Jerusalem. Reg practises the secret signal way out at sea, for the Romans can't see him out there, and he can practise in privacy. Well, he can at the part of the race that Reg swims in generally, anyway.
Lovely foot. Obviously not a bloke.
Ocean swimming is very good for clearning nasal passages.
Close up and about to be personal.
Pig-Pen.

Splasher. They didn't let laydees be Splashers when we were at Bronte.
Artist.
Little Miss oceanswims.com made a guest appearance at the North Bondi Classic, with her minder, Rob, although she wasn't paid anywhere near as much as Paris Hilton. One toe in the water was enough to teach them, however, that they didn't really want to swim. Instead, they joined the passing parade, touring the beach then the shops at Bondi.
