The Swim that Didn't Happen

On Monday, April 26 (ANZAC Holiday), I'd signed up for the 2K swim at North Bondi Beach. I arrived early to watch my friends Liz and Dori do the 1K swim (which was before the 2K swim). A few waves of swimmers got into the water, but it quickly became clear that these were not ideal swimming conditions.

Swimmers were getting tossed against the rocks, swimmers were turning back, and the surf life savers were very, very busy rescuing swimmers and bringing them back to shore to the point that while Dori's wave got in the water, the race was cancelled before Liz got in the water.

And then they cancelled the 2K swim. I wasn't too disappointed because everyone that did finish the 1K swim said it was a very, very hard swim.

Take a look at these waves!
