Looking back: 1992

Aren't we beautiful?  Do you recognise anyone?

Oatley Swimming Club in 1992. We have not changed a bit.

Spunks, eh?

Last swim meet of 2013-14 season

It was one of those mild autumn days: sunny, sweet and warm. 

There's always one in every crowd

A length of the baths was scheduled today.  It follows the shark net and is roughly 365 metres: about a year long. 

The start is at the far end of the baths, and is a land component of the program where you walk barefoot along the shore.

The finishing line: timers tell each swimmer their times. It is not always good news.

As you can see, some swimmers use flippers.

The river is a friendly place, and here are some warm moments:

As always, trees stand by, keeping green.
