It s just before 7:00am at Blackmans Bay beach, a 20-minute drive south of Hobart.
Locals are exercising and a couple perform tai chi on the water s edge facing the fast-rising sun.
Bronwen Puleston-Jones walks from the car park to the beach, goggles, swimming cap and towel in hand, ready for her ocean swim.
It s a ritual she has performed almost every day for more than a decade, and one that has become a necessity.
