I'm starting this thread as a way for people to check if there is going to be an open water swim at second beach in Middletown RI, any given day. We do these swims from June 15 to November 15, usually on Tues and Thurs. We also sometimes do an early morning swim on the weekend, from 1st beach to 2nd beach, around Easton's Point, about 1.9 miles. Starting in June I'll be posting the plans and the reports. I usually send out emails, but this won't require an email list, and anyone who is interested will be able to check. Who knows, maybe others who swim at 2nd beach and have access will chime in and organize their own swim dates using the forum!

The NOAA buoys are hovering just below 60F so we will be cold, but I still want to give it a try on Tuesday afternoon at the second beach bath house/pavilion. Bring your swimming wetsuit. (420 PM). I'm expecting 63F water temps.
Then if you want to swim without a wetsuit in open water in Rhode Island go to Fred Bartlett's Barber pond swim on Wednesday at 515PM. I did it with Fred last Wednesday, and it was a great cool temperature, perfect for swimming. Just need a pair of googles and cap (and a suit of course). The swim is about a mile. Would be great training for the Narrow River turnaround swim.
