HB Tower 9 Swim, Sunday, July 11th at **8 AM** (weekend time)

You know the drill: meet at Tower 9 at 8:00 am (weekend start time). We’ll discuss conditions, pair up and then enter the water ~7:40am.

As swells are mostly from the south, we’ll swim according to time. We’ll agree on a length of time beforehand. Usually, it’s 35-50 minutes.

Water has been warming up, about 68 F the past 10 days.

If you’re afraid of the waves, bring fins. We’re not the swim police and the fins will give you the boost you need to power through the waves on the way out and back.

All levels welcome. Most of us average 1:45-2:20/100m.

FYI: We swim out past the breakers, then regroup (about 150-250 yards). Then, we swim to the midpoint, regroup. Lastly, we regroup before heading back to shore. The bulk of the swim is parallel to shore. Against the current at first and then with the current. If I told you the time differences between against/with current, you probably wouldn’t believe me. Or thought I was a shill for algebra word problems.

Let’s get in there! We want to see you have fun in the water!
