HB Tower 9 Swim, Thursday, August 19th at 6:45 AM

You know the drill: meet at Tower 9 at 6:45 am. We’ll discuss conditions, pair up and then enter the water ~7 am.

As swells are strong, mostly from the south, we’ll swim according to time. We’ll agree on a length of time beforehand. For example, if it’s 40 minutes, we’ll swim ~30 minutes against the current and then ~10 minutes with the current. I do apologize for sounding like an algebra problem.

All levels welcome. Most of us average 1:35-2:20/100m. But, since the current is so strong, your smartwatch will be stupefied by your yardage, or lack thereof.

P.S. Water temp has fluctuated recently. Assume it’s about 65 F and you’ll be fine.

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 after drop.

We hope to see you there!
