We were joined by Paul W, Helen and James today as well as spectators Teresa Tamplin (my Tuesday cycling buddy) and her little boy, Ben. So although we missed our leaders (I thought there would be a disruption in the space/time contiuum or some other cosmological disaster when Joan didn't arrive), we were definately quorate. 7 of us ventured in with only Paul non-wetsuited today. Definately a day for booties for protection if not warmth as Helen struggled over the rocks which were hidden under the water. A strong Easterly current gave us a natural hard/easy tempo to our workout. 4 'widths' of the outer swimming bouys, with Pete the Pike trying for a third bouy further towards Eastbourne. Hildi and Sarah both wetsuited and enjoying a 'proper swim' in advance of the Swashbuckler on Sunday and the Arun swim in 2 weeks time gave a little practice to the 'mass start' experience by swimming on top of each other. Perhaps one of out events this year should be a tandem swim? Much enjoyment although without nipping home for a shower I have not warmed up enough to change out of my tracksuit into my work clothes so am having to pretend to be a PE teacher !
