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!

We've been having regular swims at 430 every weekday. Plenty of attendance. Yesterday was big, with everyone getting a super workout. (Lots of wave action.) Many small moon jellies have appeared now, and the Ocean temps are right up there. My estimate was between 74 and 77F at yesterday's swim. There is a big 40 steps to 2nd beach (2.1 miles) or 1st to second beach (1.8 miles) swim planned for this coming Sunday, July 10th. (Both swims are planned.) There will be kayak support. Meet at Surfer's end of second beach at 0615AM.
