Did you know? Cerberus is the watchdog of Hell with Hades as his master. The three heads relate to the threefold symbol of the baser forces of life. They represent the past, the present and the time yet to come.  Cerberus patrolled the river Styx, where he had the task of eating any mortals (Brunswick Belugas) who attempted to enter, and any spirits who attempted to escape.

On that note I am relieved to report the legendary Cerberus was busy devouring baddies along the river Yarra on our swim day. However the rusty steel naval version was  present as usual resting just off shore after having seen better days.

In the morning the weather was pleasantly mild and the view down to the half moon beach revealed a calm bay. Today there would be the usual suspects swimming without wetsuits in the 2.5km swim namely Anthony F, Paul T and me(Vito).

The results show a very close time recorded which came down to a dash across the line(before me) for a rather excited Paul T, rightly so after all the friendly trash talk. Also I met my friend Neil from Darwin again which brings back great memories of the Turkey swimtrek holiday.

The 1.2km swim saw our sprinters front up to near perfect race conditions. These Beluga contestants could be described as eager, determined and primed. The place gets and ranking certainly show their fitness and resilience time and time again. Check out the results! The participation and personal achievements are very important so lets swim on Belugas.

Again a lovely day was had by all and the meet and greet along with the colourful atmosphere made the day memorable.  Thanks to Anthony for collating the results!
