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.
Onne and I had a great swim last Wednesday at noontime at the beach. I was able to be comfortable with the neoprene cap and just jammers; Onne donned the wetsuit.
Fred had his last gasp at the Salty Brine State beach in Narragansett yesterday. The weather cleared enough for about a dozen of us to do a mile or so in the sheltered waters of the Harbor of Refuge. Afterwards we shared
pot luck on the beach with friends and families. It was really a fitting end to the West Bay ocean swim season.
We will continue into November at second beach, but only sporadically, with last minute emails, when the weather looks favorable, and with an earlier start (like noon or 3PM).
