Bruce Longden and his Malvern/Harold Holt ocean swimming buddies had their ‘end of swim’ season day out at the end of March.

This started with a swim at the Harold Holt pool, breakfast at Mr Fox in Malvern, then a leisurely drive down to Sorrento, coffee and morning tea at Stringer’s café on the corner.  From there a leisurely swim from Portsea pier to old Franklin Point and return. All this followed by lunch at the Portsea pub, much food and drinks consumed.
Usually venue has been at Lorne each year but the other side of the bay members held sway this year.

Bruce has been making full use of his current assignment being based in Sydney with a swim in the Cronulla Shark Island Swim event on the previous weekend.

Seriously though, a little scary and time to take stock.  But do not fear...this means a refocus on the things I love...like footy tipping.
