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!
Aloha

Good swims this past week.
Tursday a harbinger of the fall with air temps in the 60s water slightly warmer. A play around the buoys day. The guards quit, we didn't!
Wednesday a slightly warmer deal with decent swells. The Newport Athletic Club guys showed up so I met some nice people and reacquainted with Paul S.
I gave up for Thursday but it would have been okay if we tried it. Friday was Dan F and me. Bill had to bow out for a meeting. Great double L swim. Dan took it easy on me. We were moving right along in some big waves. Fun.
Sunday we went first to second. Thought we would have more but four was plenty; Brian was back from Guam. Beautiful morning fog lifted, vistas were perfect. Barrett friend Chris gave us all a ride over to first in his double cab, which made logistics easy.
Only a few more weeks before the temps start to drop, but still plenty of good swimming in the offing.
Join us Tues Wed Thurs Friday meet at 445PM at chair number five right in front of the bathhouse. Sachuest beach, Middletown RI
Cheers.
