I grew up swimming at another harbour baths - Northbridge - but now live closer to the Dawn Fraser. I am hoping to go in the 'Dawny' this year so might see you there.

Your post is of particular interest as I have very fond memories of Dawn Fraser Pool. I grew up opposite the pool in the early-mid 60s and swam there often - in fact I learnt to swim there. I'll try to go to the next 'Dawny' swim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861413711976269709.post-45460023715808457122013-10-04T14:55:35.399+10:002013-10-04T14:55:35.399+10:00Thank you Lizzie.

I especially liked Caron's story on the art of swimming from Cronulla to Shark Island and back. Beautiful!

Funny both in and out of context! See you at Dawnies again perhaps this year.
