The weekend that was - a return of summer conditions to Bondi Fit Beach! It’s been a while since we raced so coach @bondispot put out a buoy & we did a series of loops. The goal was to stay with whoever you finished the first loop with. Some people faded & some got stronger - it was a great mental & physical test! And yes there was a bit of BIFFO as people turned the buoy! Our 9:30am Rookies did a shorter version finishing off with the World Rookie Surf Race championships won by @nikki_strauss - good work Nikki! #swimming #autumn #summer #bondi #bondifit

The swimming jigsaw puzzle - we have been doing a lot of adult learn to swim lately & the one constant is teaching new swimmers to get air! Lots of theories around but we teach exhaling when the head turns (not before) & trying to keep the mouth as close to the water as possible! We have a “tough love” drill on the side of the pool where we make swimmers exhale & leave water in the mouth so they learn to get comfortable with water in & around the mouth.... As you swim faster you get a bow wave around your mouth which stops water going in! In short swim slow & learn to breath correctly then you will be able to swim for longer without running out of air! It also means the coach can start stroke correction on your stroke and the whole process starts again! Stay calm - there is always a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (photo from same lesson this morning). Congrats @_meljy_ our swimmer of the week who started as a breast-stroker & can now swim lap after lap freestyle! #learntoswin #adult #swimdrills #breathing #air #swimming #bondifit #princealfredparkpool 📸 @bondispot #coach

Swimming in Bigger Surf Tips - it’s all about confidence! 1. Analyse the surf so you know what’s happening before you swim out the back & make sure you have a get out of jail card (Plan B in case you get scared). Make the surf size is appropriate to your swimming ability. 2. Swim out to the “impact zone” and spend time here. Try to stay calm as waves hit you! Vid 1 is of coach @bondispot showing @bethsignal exactly where this point is. Often the impact zone isn’t where the waves are breaking furthest out the back - it’s where they are dumping the most! Most people swim past here when they are scared... 3. To avoid getting pulled back dive early under waves & if it is shallow enough pull along the sand (see vid 2 of how much ground coach @bondispot makes on swimmer in front). 4. When to swim back to the beach in bigger surf? As soon as the last wave of a set breaks start swimming! This will allow the longest time between the bigger wave sets hitting you - note some of the smaller ones may still get you! Sunday was our “Performance Surf Clinic” where coach Spot helped one of our faster swimmers Beth learn to relax & in effect spend all her energy swimming faster! We have a “race the coach” tradition to finish the clinic & we are happy to announce that Beth beat the coach - congrats! #swimming #waves #surfing #skills #divedeep #underwater 📸 @bondispot #goprohero7
Today for our Sunrise Swim we started in the dark but it was OK we only saw 2 sharks! And how big were they Lauren? (Photo 2) Coach @bondispot convinced everyone they were dolphins & it wasn’t until lifeguard @reidy__ came down to tell us to stop being clowns 🤡 did we get out of the water! Seems sharks aren’t interested in eating Bondi Fit swimmers - rest easy kids! #swimming #sharetheocean #shark #dolphin #bondi #bondifit #RainSharkShine 📸 @bondispot #coach #olympustg5
Some Bondi Fit champions today & credit where credit is due - Elizabeth & Peter (photo 2) were heading south to Stanwell Park when their oceanswim race was cancelled so headed to Bondi Fit Beach for a good hit out! Our 3rd photo is of coach @bondispot sister Kathy - she’s seen him win races, have kids, put on weight, let go of the dream & is now circling like a shark ready to beat him in his next race... The 4th bloke doesn’t need to train he just needs to get barrelled 😂 & the 5th photo is his dream... #swimming #surfing #clouds #rain #wind #waves #bondi #bondifit #rainhailshine 📸 @bondispot #goprohero7
One thing is certain with surf swim training when storms, wind, rain & big waves are forecast - you are having more fun than the pussy cats in the car park! Our big kids swam to South Bondi, swam out to the headland & then we cracked a few waves - good hardcore training but so much fun with your mates... Rookie Swim group had the luck of the Irish ☘️ The north corner was protected from the wind with only small waves from the north swell - opposite to the big wave south swell & south wind forecast... #swimming #surfing #waves #triathlon #bondi #bondifit #rainhailshine 📸 @bondispot #coach #goprohero7
Sydney Storms - you got nothing! Such a fun night at an empty Bondi Fit Beach - not a hipster in sight... #swimming #running #bondi #bondifit #rainhailshine 📸 @bondispot #olympustg5
Sunrise Swimming - today we started in the dark with the re-assuring words from coach @bondispot “sharks prefer surfers”! It’s always a great way to start the week... Congrats to the legend runners that turned up for recovery swim @greta_truscott fresh from 6 foot track marathon @emmastarritt from 30kms in the mountains & @lol_tisch - not sure what she did but it was probably 3 or 4 hours 😂 #swimming #sunrise #goldenhour #blackandwhite #bondi #bondifit 📸 @bondispot #coach #headshark
