Etiquette ...

For those gentlemen who insist on readjusting their budgies whilst standing in full view of fellow female swimmers- it looks gross!! Surely one could readjust one accoutrements before standing in the crowd ready for the swim. It becomes a canary when it hits the water anyway, guys.

I have never seen ladies readjusting bits just before the big plunge. Is it a check perhaps to see if the rudder is still in working order??

Smuggle that bugdie!

Coaching ...

After competing in the Byron Ocean Classic, there were many complaints in the women’s bathrooms about ‘tog rub’! I’m just throwing out the point that although it might sound like an old/no good idea, Vaseline really DOES work! Rub it around the edges of your togs, and don’t go easy on it! There are creams such as ‘3B’ cream that you can buy from the chemists as well, (designed for chaffing), but for swims like these, Vaseline really is the best way to go!
