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
Mike.
Good swims at second beach over the last two weeks.
Weather has been terrific and participation consistent. (3 to 7 swimmers for most swims.)
The format seems to be working. More come to the 530 swims than the 430 swims. I've done both, and the 430 is definitely the warmer of the two. I noticed the ocean cooling off as I swam at 530PM. We're also already starting to lose some light at the later swim. Temps have been at 75+ in the waters with all the heating and southerly winds over the last few weeks. Wave action a-plenty too, but every swim's a little different. We haven't seen many jellyfish near the surface, so few stings. Water is so warm no one really needs a wetsuit.
Main lifeguard chair at Second beach, Tues through Friday, 430 PM and 530 PM.
swim fast seek peace, especially all the "save bay" swimmers!
