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!
Hey Swimmy -
How are you?
Rainbow Channel is listed as 1 August on www.dvmasters.org site. Keep in mind that it is in a different location than it used to be - it's no longer in Kennedy Park, but at the Pleasantville yacht club. Also, last year, I think it was listed as 2 miles and not the 2.6 that it used to be. I hope to get ther, but things have been awfully hairy of late, so we'll see. Hope to see you soon.

Hi Leonard,
Hope things are okay. I am busy with a swim team social outing that day, so I will have to do Rainbow Channel some other year. I do hope to do the September Splash again. Maybe we will see each other again then. Are you doing the Chester River this year? It is on the same day as the Dolphin Swim, so I will miss that one too.
Hang in there!
Swimmy

They'll help you find a kayaker if you let them know you need one. But sorry, I don't think they'll help with the tolls.:shakeshead:
I have a special feeling for Fire Island, having spent so many childhood summer vacations there. So if not this year, I totally recommend you try it! You'd do very well, I think!
So ... do we have Swimmy, Leonard, and TJRPatt at Sept. Splash! Would be cool to meet my "imaginary friends"! :) You folk will have showered and dressed by the time I finish the two miler, so you can grab yourselves a nice post-swim mocha, put your feet up, relax, work on your suntan (or sunblock) and await my arrival. (You might need a copy of War and Peace to read...)
Maybe next year do that swim. I have to save up for those tolls!!!! :shakeshead: I plan to be at the Sept. Splash but I can't think that far ahead. There is no shower available at that swim. We are lucky to use to bathroom at the restaurant nearby to change.

That's right... I remember it was maybe just a hose--but my bar is low for things like this... Just to entice you... they had an outdoor shower set up for the FI to LI swim--better still, you get a HUGE lunch spread at a local rest.--and not so soon afterward that you're too green at gills to enjoy it. Bon appetit!
