HB Tower 9 Swim, Tuesday, November 9th, 8am

Back to Tower Swims!

All levels welcome. Most of us average 1:35-2:20/100m. If you’re a little slower, don’t worry; we’re a nonjudgmental group. If you’re faster, that’s awesome.

Oh, and you can bring your fins, especially if you’re a wee bit nervous about the waves. Fins will give you the power to make it through and likely increase your speed over your entire swim.

P.S. Water temp has been ~ 60 F. Air temp, sun, winds, and humidity can also make you feel warmer/colder. You can check Surfline (check Huntington Street; it gives you a live camera to Tower 9) and MagicSeaweed (check Huntington Pier as it’s the nearest location for MSW) for a recent forecast. Be warned, though, that Surfline can have a delay of a day and MSW tends to overestimate the temp & winds by quite a bit.

If you’re unaccustomed to the cold, bring a hot beverage in a thermos to Tower 9 (not your car). You’ll want to sip it about 2-4 minutes after exiting the water to offset the afterdrop.

We hope to see you there!
