Summer swimmers spotted!

I came out of the tunnel to the sight of Ollie saluting the sun from the westerly groyn. And indeed the sun was out. And summer it was. Not one, but two summer swimmers joined us. Anita! And, bizarrely over on the next beach, a personage who turned out to be the mysterious Tracey Harris. Trace started out for a devil's loop of the buoys, Joan and stefan in for a dip, Hildi, Ollie, Paul and Anita proposing a lap of the buoys the 'correct' way. BUT scuppered by Hildi forgetting her goggles! So, back out while O and A started their lap. Returned to find Paul being filmed by Stefan for the purposes of stroke analysis. Paul still nervous but I persuaded him to swim to the inner westerly buoy and thence on to the outer one. Met Ollie and Anita and swam back together. Then a few more laps of the inner buoys, a chat out by the buoy with Trace, then out and leisurely dressing in the sun before off to work. Joan already left early to catch prawns and mackerel. Thinking of Emma preparing for her big swim. Knock em dead, Em! Later, a text from Anita saying she was still buzzing from the swim, despite her cold arthritic ankles. Guess she'll be back from now on. Swimmers: Joan, Anita, Ollie ( who seems to have found his mojo spurred on by a speedy Anita), Paul, Hildi, Stefan. In 7.15, out 7.50. Conditions: the best start to the day
