Sea swim Friday 22nd

Post by johnd »

Dena and I are heading for Courtown tomorrow morning at 8:30am
Splash around for a bit and then some class of a run afterwards if anyone else is interested?
Usual meeting place at the boardwalk

Not sure what water temps will be like but sure nice to get out in this weather for the first of the year

No, this is not some kind of another April fools thing, I swear I've had 3 club members ask me about that swim David F was 'organinsing' on April 1st, this is the real deal :D

Right swimming this morning, Brian S, Dena & Tom joined me in lovely calm waters in Courtown.
A bit of brain/face freeze to get started but we got used to it quick enough.
Swam down to the pier and back before heading north for a bit and back to the lifeguard hut again
Twas cold alright but depending on the weather over the next few weeks don't see any reason not to get back into Wednesday mornings again? What do you reckon Mr swim coordinator?
My wetsuit does seem to have shrunk over the winter though however that happened :?

just as a rule of thumb and for future reference - when there's an 'east' in the wind direction you can be sure it will be choppy
