Hi all,
Any mid-Atlantic folk planning on this one?
Here's the link:

This is a nice, low-key bay swim, generally swimmer-friendly weather, in my experience. Water temp around low 70s (just a guess based on feel).
They have one and two mile swims, plus a 1/4 mile for kids. I'm looking at the two miler this time around--have done the mile in the past.
Hope to see some of you there!
Lots more Jersey shore swims I'd do but cash-strapped for now. I liked the Rainbow Channel Challenge which I did a few years ago--nice beach towels as their Schwag! :)
Also have done Plunge for Patients but couldn't make it this year.
I know what you mean about those rocks in Sept. Splash... when I did the mile swim two years ago, I think that slipping and sliding on the rocks at the end added at least 30 seconds, maybe a min. to my time. Still, it was a fun swim other than that!
I got the entry form for the Bradley Beach Swim on the 4th and it is like 15 bucks which is kind of cheap for an OW swim. I had to miss the Plunge for Patients due to a 2-day USA-S meet in South Jersey. I guess that I could have done it but I didn't have any place to crash at the Shore that night. I would do the Rainbow but it is few days before for Nationals. Man, I rather get a towel than another T-shirt. Ah well, maybe I can do it next year or something.
