Power Swim and Body Surf

A late morning start for a SSF meetings: 11h30m.

Me and Anita met in Saltdean for a swim in the Big WAVes. Warm and cosy in our wetsuits we dare to enter in surf waves that were being produce by our sea. After waiting for a calmer wave set we manage to power swim the first waves and swim out enough into the sea were we could swim between the groins without the risk of being pull over. We manage to do 4 lengths between the 3 groins in front of Saltdean and coming back to the beach in 30 min. 

It was a Good fun swimming, with moments of 'digging the wave' style swim, were you get right on the top of the big waves and find yourself digging down to catch your stroke when the wave has pass. Or just feeling like you are on roller coaster, up and down on the waves.

On our way back to the beach we both agreed to aim for the right groin so we could actually come out in the middle of the beach or closer to the left groin, and so we did. We were back on the beach on a good fashion way avoiding rolling overs and bad landings.

At the end, both of us enjoyed the waves, the power swim involved and the fact that we could feel our feet, hands and face warm again.

Outside temperature - felt like 18c

water temperature - felt like 12c

PS - I missed the yellow/ red sunrise colors coming from the cliffs that you have from a early morning swim.
