The team arrived at Bondi at 8:30 for ocean swim training. We had a brush with fame with Michael Clark and Pat Rafter having an interview while we there. The beach was beautiful and the surf pretty flat with a few 3 footers coming through occasionally. Longy told us what to do to go through the surf and the mentors had a chat with us about fundraising.

I made sure I sent my email on Friday as promised. (Have already received some funds which is great - thanks to those who have contributed so far.)

We did a quick in and out through the rip. It really takes the pressure of the swim if you can get out easily. We then swam out about 200m. Then it was down to icebergs, a quick stop and break then back to the Middle of the beach and then in to the shore. Caught a nice wave in which was pretty enjoyable. Then we did a few more ins and outs to get the feel for it. The whole session was about 1.6km.
