Yet another well done Kingdom Swim this year in Newport. The support there, particularly the local kayakers, is excellent.
I can highly recommend this race to others. Hopefully some others who were there will confirm.

I enjoyed Kingdom Swim thoroughly (or at least quite well). A grassy hillside debouches onto a sandy beach, and one has a view of the town and hills across the lake as the swimmers come in. A food tent offered sandwiches, burgers, and fruit smoothies at modest prices; another org sold chocolate brownies and pastries for 50 cents. It was a pleasant place to hang out and talk, eat, lie on one's back and watch the clouds sail by overhead.
I am glad the meet director is capping the number of swimmers at something reasonable. I met swimmers I would most likely not have met at a larger event, including some folks from CIBBOWS.
