This swim is on Spring Bank Holiday Monday 30th May. <br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>-----------<br><br>Hello all, <br><br>Here is the updated info for Swim 3 of the OSS Oxon & Reading Swim the Thames event series.<br>
<br>This
is the third swim of the OSS Swim the Thames series. The Thames is deep
enough to swim along longer stretches, or the commando crawl (tm) is
always an option - its originators will be happy to teach you - but there are
still very shallow parts where wading is unavoidable (ajnd enjoyable for those of us in the Extreme Wading Society).
This stretch will combine the end of swim 5, swim 6 and swim 7 from
Michael Worthi<span></span><span>ngton's
book - 'I Love the Thames' - and will cover a distance of 4.6km. This
is longer than previously thought and equivalent in length to Sunday
14th's #swim 2. There are issues along this stretch with trespass-free
exit points which is why we are going for the longer swim. The Thames Path now diverts from the river and the bank is
private land. If the going gets too tough, exit points have been
identified and we will have a drink and sugary eat break at
approximately 3km for those who want an energy supplement, where the
path meets the river. This and one other point have been identified for
those who would like to get out before Hannington Bridge and will be
indicated as we approach them. <br><br>Because of the length of the swim and the fact that we'll still be river-walking, wetsuits and rubber feet are essentials. <br><br>Meet at 10.30am at the Red Lion, Castle Eaton. We will return here after the swim for a pub lunch. Look forward to seeing you there! <br>
