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

Weekly report. Got in our first official regular swim of the season yesterday.
Great swim. Full 1500 yards. Temps at least 58, possibly 60. Plenty of sun, light southerly 4-7 knots, small swells. Water clear.
Everybody had a great time. Wetsuits, no booties; and I was the only neoprene cap. No one experienced any ice cream head or numb feet. If you get a sunny day and a seabreeze, the SOS's should go. Season is OPEN.
Participants: Kelly and Hanna Kittel, Dan the force, Mary Phelan (first time), and Dr.Garr....email me to get on the regular swimmers list. emails will be going out from the swimmers next week to start up a quorum Tues-Friday.
