Good news!
We've had the best ever start to our season. Bill R got in early in May on a good weekend day. Last week we swam Tuesday-Friday around 430 each day with Friday having 8 participants. Today and tomorrow we will have 4PM swims. Newport, RI visitors, if you want an early season ocean swim second beach is the place. I've already had a 50+ minute swim without wetsuit. (and Ellen A was similarly attired.) Water temps have been variable, 58-66F. Doable.
If you want to join in, we have a facebook page, Sachuest Ocean Swimmers, and you can email me. mikegarr@usms.org.
Swim Fast Seek Peace!

Water has been cold (58-60F) at Sachuest due to steady Northerly breezes which cause upwelling. Hard core swimmers have been getting out there anyway in wetsuits, and enjoying it, reporting clear waters and sightings of fish beneath them. There should be some warming his week, and regular 430PM swims are already on the schedule for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
