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

The biggest thing is enjoyment.
Nate, Brian, Tina, Onne and I experienced it manyfold with a double L swim at the beach yesterday at 430PM
Both buoys still there, but eastern buoy is half sunk.
All the critters have left, and the storm washed the red seaweed well up the beach, so hardly anything to bump into. Water temps still up around 70. The men were all comfortable without the wetsuits.
Low winds meant no kiteboarders, and it was one of those see clear to Block Island afternoons.
There will be a first to second beach swim on Saturday. Meet at surfer's end of second beach at 715AM
A few of us did the second beach open water challenge (one miler) last Saturday and got to share the waters with our local olympian, Liz Beisel. This will become an annual event, and was alot of fun. Well run for the first time out. Way to go, Matt Emmert and company!
