Hi, I'll be in Nantucket this summer and was wondering if people have advice in general for places to swim? Are there any groups? I did some looking online but didn't find anything recent. I know there's the Nantucket Community Pool but I'm mainly looking for open water. I'll be staying on the south side, near madaket and last year I also stayed there and swam a few times there along the coast. Would swimming to Tuckernuck be an option? I'm not too worried about rip currents, rough waters, etc. (I have a lot of OW experience) but don't know about boat traffic etc. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I'll be out there for a couple weeks I'm mid Aug and would he happy to meet up for some OWS. I pinged the ACK Tri Club this morning to see whether there are any standing swims. I've heard about a weekday morning swim out of Monomoy/Shimmo area. I usually will head over to Dionis/Eel Point or just along the beach in Nobadeer depending on the conditions.
BTW, I'm a fairly strong OWS and enjoy rough conditions but I would advise against swimming to Tuckernut without a support. Pat or some kind and then only at slack tide - that current is no joke. Have you been out there before?
Let me know if your up for a swim and I'll let you know if I hear anything from ACK Tri.
Cheers!
Craig
