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

one hundred and six days left before we can reasonably be expected to do our next swim. If you can wait that long, and think you'd like to be a part of the group in 2008: We swim Tues Wed Thurs Friday 445PM meeting at the main lifeguard chair at second beach, Middletown, RI. We swim somewhere between 1500 and 2000 yards in the ocean, staying together for the most part. We accept any swimmer who is willing to give it a try. I get rid of the wetsuit after May30th and stay wetsuit-free into October. The beach sets up with a southerly breeze to trap warm water and we enjoy temps in the 70s by mid June. There is no fresh water outfall into this stretch of ocean, so it stays clean (barring major oil spills offshore). I maintain an email list which we use to determine if there is going to be a quorum on a given day (2 or more swimmers). It's a beautiful spot. If you want to try it or live vicariously through our reports I'll put you on the email list.
