He did it again: went water skiing all the way from one end of the Lagoon to the other. And almost at the same time of the day as last week. I wonder if this is a reoccurring, daily event, or if he only does it when I am around with my camera...

He's a she, a Pen not a Cob 
Great sequence

It may be the angle, but the black basal knob on its beak looks rather small. On a Cob it's much larger & prominent.
Here's a close-up of a Cob
And here's a Pen 
spot the difference

And here's a Pen spot the difference That's correct, Will, but in this case there wasn't much difference regarding that knob as you can see here:
It's the same swan to the left and I used to recognise him by the little black dot at the lower part of his head. Quite an aggressive guy, by the way. The Pen to the right was much friendlier and spent most of her time nesting and later taking care of the Cygnets they got. Apart from that, the difference in size was the best way I could distinguish between the two individuals.

I've never seen a Cob with a little black knob before 
All the ones I've seen have large one, some coming over the nasal apertures.
