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

We reached a milestone today. Unseasonably warm weather in Rhode Island has pushed the Newport water temp above 50F.
According to the most diehard open water swimmers this is swimmable with the right wetsuit, cap etc. I am not buying it.
But if anyone on the list wants to go let everyone know.
So we're still in "Spring Training" mode. I've been trying to average a mile per day but it hasn't been practical. Had a great winter competition season and have seen Mary Phelan at practice frequently. She is swimming well, too.
Looking forward to reconnect with you all when the water temp caps 60F.
