Good News: Laura’s fund raising passes the $6,000 mark. 

 

Laura’s planned 27 km ocean swim from Palm Beach to Shelly Beach to raise funds to fight Motor Neurone Disease is being supported by family, her ocean swimming fraternity and friends, with funds thus far past the 1/2 way mark and making progress towards achieving her target of $10,000

Due to latest outbreak of covid on the Northern Beaches and with restrictions in place, the event has now been moved to Saturday the 6th of February. She is so grateful to all that have supported her thus far.  She shared our swimmers link with the public: ‘A Beautiful Day’

Pic of the south end swim group plus others at the north end totalled approx. 40 ocean swimmers, some did the 2021 ‘length of beach’ 2km swim whilst others did both ways, 4 kms.

 

Mollymook Ocean Swimmers, annual ‘Length of the beach’ ocean swim, New Year’s day 2021

 

2021 was welcomed by the Mollymook Ocean swimmers as they met at the beach to undertake their annual ‘length of the beach’ ocean swim. Cloud above and chop in the ocean didn’t prevent this die hard group from enjoying their new year’s day swim with a water temp. of 21c. This is the paradise we remember Mollymook for in bygone years. (That is with the exception of 2020 which was a year, that we will never forget.) 

Back in 2020 on New years day we awoke to the destructive / horrendous bush fires that had swept through our area the previous night and were still burning out of control on New Years day.  Most had no electricity. Bewilderment and disbelief were just some of the descriptive words used. There was no ‘length of the beach’ idyllic annual swim, as in past years.
