An Amazing Swim....

Today started out as any normal weekend, even though it was a Saturday, in fact it is ANZAC Day. I headed off from home at 5:30am to pick up my training partner and head to Cottelsoe Beach for our weeks open water training session. We had beautiful conditions with easterly winds, though the water was a bit chilly. I decided on wearing my wetsuit for the swim, and unfortunately my training partner didn't have one to wear, so with the easterly winds comes jellyfish...oh and yes lots of them.

On the way out it was surprising to just how many jellyfish were out there, I got stung on my wrists, face and foot, even now at 9:12pm my face is still very sore and my foot and wrists are better, but you know the stings are still there. We turned around to head back after 2.5km and as we were half way back underneath me I see this...

This is a photo from the net of a Baby Black Tip Reef Shark, it just happily swam under and past us. I was surprised to what I saw and the magnificence of this animal for the very first time in the wild.

I also saw so many different fish that swam under us as well, it just so amazing that we can swim in such beautiful places in our own city.

Have an Awesome weekend everyone...
