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!

Several good swims this past week at Sachuest. Waters were quite cool still but participation was good nonetheless. Winds from the West Wednesday made the waters calm(ish). Felt like a lake swim. While yesterday we had nice wind driven rollers and slightly more tolerable temps.
Sunday we will do the second of our first to second beach swims, with an unusally early start, to accommodate Father's Day. Meet at 6 AM at surfer's end of second beach to carpool over to first beach. We should be done by 730AM.
Andy Arkway is still very ill; progress has not been good. Please keep him in your prayers.
