So Sea Swim Fitness passed a year old, and it was lovely to see a bumper turn-out as 9 hit the beach. Two newcomers, Annika and Alison came to see what the fuss was about, perhaps the lure of chocolate cake rumoured the day before helped.
At 7:16 we went into the water aiming for two laps clockwise. the water was cool, with a tiny surface chop heading into shore. Ollie and Annika took a more dignified swim enjoying the view onthe first lap whilst the gang set off with a splash. After settling into their rhythm we regrouped for the second lap and swam together with Paul heading off setting a faster pace - that warm up run before going in is definitely his secret weapon!! - one to watch on the marina swim.
But the party really started ashore when we regrouped, drank latte's from the kelly kettle (how posh are we), sang happy birthday to us all, feasted on chocolate fudge cake, home made but not in my home, and talked through various strategies for upcoming events. The Arun swim on the weekend being most talked about. Good luck to Pete and Sara who are taking on the 3.8km swim. Do us proud!!!
Swimmers: Ruth (welcome back!), Hildi, Pete, Alison, Annika, Joan, Sara, Paul C, Ollie.
