Conti locals Ted Hinge and JB.
WHENEVER I consider skipping my swim, I think of Ted’s motto.
Ted Hinge is mates with JB (who featured in the previous blog post, “A bit of a legend”), and has been swimming at the Wollongong Continental Pool for 12 years.
He jumps in all year round, and come summer is known to swim twice a day – in the morning and late avo.
“Everyone who comes here is happy,” says Ted. “They’re in a good mood because they are here. So you enjoy each other’s company.”
Ted’s motto is framed on his wall at home.

“And it’s pretty true,” says Ted. “It always makes you feel better.”
Amen, Ted, that sure is an idea worth spreading.
