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.
Tuesday was a washout with unsettled rain squalls, but the
rest of last week was okay for swimming. Not too many
folks are coordinating with the list and the participation
is somewhat down. We did have couple of nice swims on
Friday. Squid eggs were still around in the waters.
Saturday evening a group swam at the Quidnessett spot in
the full moon at night. That was quite an experience. (thanks Lori!)
Then we watch Michael, Darra, et al. live from Beijing.
Sunday morning eight swimmers had a great view of the
shoreline, low winds, and somewhat cloudy waters for a
swim around Easton's Point. (1st to second, that is.)
Onne had his GPS in a bag Sunday morning and measured our
first to second swim at 1.67 miles.
usual swims this week? We'll see. You might want to join us and train for the first September 13 USMS and USS swim to benefit young athletes who need money to compete at a higher level.
