B&B is open to everyone so if you can swim 1.5km in the ocean why not come on down tomorrow and have a swim with us.

The 'Bold & Beautiful' is an informal group who meet out the front of Manly Life Saving Club and swim at 7am, 7 days a week from Manly to Shelly Beach and back. A 750m swim each way, hence 1.5km swim return !

We all wear hot pink 'Bold & Beautiful' swim caps.  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 after the swim.  The 'Bold & Beautiful' hold two seasonal Badge Challenges. The 1st of June saw the start of the 2013 Winter Badge Challenge whereby swimmers must complete 20 swims over the 13 weeks of winter.  The swims must be split across 7 different weeks in order to qualify.  Those who qualify will received the 2013 'Cold & Beautiful' Badge for a small fee. 
The 2014 Summer Badge comprises of a 6km and 10km Long Distance Swimmer Badge which continue on from the regular 7am swim on Saturday mornings.
