Well, it's officially summer! The swim bouys are back all along the coast and we have a new member. See temp about touching double figures, and an excellent early season turn out. Tide a bit low but Hildi, Pete and Paul valiantly tried to complete a lap round the bouys. A bit of paddling and a few grazed knuckles but a 'serious attempt' I believe. Ollie looking after Emma after we'd bamboozled her with a million different ways to put on a wetsuit (I'm standing by my assertion that the stretchy wetsuit dance is actually recommended and modelled by Chrissie Wellington!), Joan splashing and encouraging the new recruit over by the easterly near bouy. Paul seemed a little out of kilter following last week's adventures and Pete at last showing he is human by complaining that Sunday's half ironman had taken its toll. Maybe this is the one week of the year Hildi could rule the seas! I'm sure the crown will be whisked away all too soon by the tropical water specialists ;-) Swimmers: Ollie (head coach), Hildi (deep water leader and navigator), Paul, Pete, Joan and Emma (suited) Swim time: 27 mins Conditions: cold for the time of year, just a little swell, milky
