Today offered an excellent way to set ourselves up for the big swim next week. Calm waters, an early start and little fishes in the water. We aimed to swim for minimum 1 hour today by doing laps of the buoys to check we all have what it tales for the behemoth that is the marina to saltdean swim. Today went very well. Everyone settled in to a comfortable pace and after arms had warmed up by the first lap it felt lovely. Swimming clockwise it was hard going out and heading west along the back buoys, with a current pulling us along very nicely back into shore and from west to east. Coming back into shore between buoys 2 and 3 was the perfect water to really practice stretching the stroke out and working on the catch phase. Lots of speed down thisstraight. Laps covered were Ollie = 6, Hildi, Sara and Paul C=5, Pete=4 and Anita who was tapering for the wkd 2. Joan covered distances between the two nearest buoys, it looked like you were in for some time Joan, so good swimming!
