Good Friday Full Moon Swim / Swim's 18, 19 and 20 Catch Up / Swim 22 Throw Down
by Chris Dalton 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Hi Gang, Seeing as Good Friday is a Full Moon I thought it would be a grand opportunity to combine the first Full Moon swim of the year with catch-ups of the last few swims and a throw down of the next for those who need them. Followed by a spot of dinner at the pub, possibly! I expect it would be a relatively free-form event as different people need to do different swims but we could all do a splash under the light of the moon before eating. Moonrise is at 19:21 which is a few minutes before sunset so the timing should work out nicely. Who's up for it? CD

Good Friday Full Moon Swim / Swim's 18, 19 and 20 Catch Up / Swim 22 Throw Down

Hi All, The swim I'd like to do on Friday is Folly Bridge to Kennington. This is a total distance of about 3.5km and was originally done in sections of 1.5km, 800m and 1.2km in swims 18, 19 and 20. Now the water is back into double figure temperatures this should be perfectly doable! CD

I was going to suggest a celestial swim - if the weather cooperated, a sunset swim could incorporate not only the sun moon and stars, but also Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn!

OSS Swim the Thames 2012 - Dates for your Diaries
by Jeremy Wellingham 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

OSS Swim the Thames 2012 - Dates for your Diaries At the risk of reducing the spontaneity and the rather happy go lucky approach to our swimming we have set dates for the 2012 season of the OSS Swim the Thames. Don't know exactly where we will be swimming on these dates yet but these are the dates we will be swimming on. Full details will be sent in the normal way, a couple of weeks prior to each swim, via Facebook events, OSSOxon / OSSRATS mail list and the OSS website. Gives us flexibility to vary our pace to suit the conditions and how we feel on the day. Monday 2nd January End of year party Sunday 15th January Sunday 19th February Sunday 25th March Monday 9th April Easter Monday Sunday 22nd April Anniversary of Swim the Thames Saturday 5th May Camp Sunday 6th May Bank Holiday weekend Saturday 19th May Late Afternoon swim Monday 4th June Camp Tuesday 5th June Jubilee Bank Holiday Saturday 16th June Late Afternoon swim Saturday 30th June Dorset Camp Sunday 1st July Dorset Camp Sunday 15th July Early Afternoon Saturday 28th July Late Afternoon Sunday 12th August Saturday 25th August Camp Sunday 26th August Bank Holiday weekend Saturday 8th September Camp Sunday 9th September Sunday 30th September Sunday 14th October Sunday 28th October Sunday 18th November Sunday 9th December We've attached a calendar and list of dates that you can print and stick to the fridge with the dates on. We have earmarked 5 weekends for camps so we can have two days swimming and a night time dip. How this works will depend on where we are on that dates and if there is a suitable site so we will play this by ear and if we don't manage all days at least hope to get three camps this year. For the mid summer swims we're trying the idea of a late afternoon / early evening swims followed by a pub dinner as an alternative to morning swims. We can always change to the day time again if we decide that we don't like the idea after all. Pencil these dates in your diaries and look out for the individual announcements with full details nearer the time. /Sef & Jeremy and the folk from the River Bank e-mail: / /oxford(a)outdoorswimmingsociety.com <mailto:oxford@outdoorswimmingsociety.com> / / OSS swim responsibility statement: By attending you confirm that you are a member of the OSS and have read and accepted the OSS swim responsibility statement: http://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/index.php?p=swimming_tips&s=responsib… <http://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/index.php?p=swimming_tips&s=responsib…> All swimmers swim at their own risk./

/Ice Maidens and Ice Men of the Isis, / /Welcome to the season of Winter, at least for this week and who knows for the week after next. / /Picking up the pace a little, but not too much, February’s swim will be just over a kilometre at 1.2km starting where we left off at Iffley Lock and finishing at a convenient beach adjacent to Kennington. (This will get us almost halfway towards Sandford Lock, which will be the aim of the 1.5km March swim on Sun25Mar12.) / /Once under the road bridge, visible from Iffley Lock, that carries Oxford's Southern Bypass, there are plenty of exits points along the way to allow for an early escape, if the temperature is too challenging. (January's swim was 4ºC - can't get much colder else we'll be walking on it!) / // /This swim is the first almost half of Swim 31 in Michael Worthington's I ♥the Thames book./ /We will meet in the Health Centre car park – free parking – opposite The Tandem pub at 11:00am on Sunday 19^th February 2012:/ // /http://g.co/maps/dkebh/ // /There is a short walk from there, over the railway foot bridge, to the river, where will check out the exit point before walking upstream to Iffley Lock:/ // /http://g.co/maps/gczt9 / // /At Iffley Lock we’ll jump in as near to the downstream side of the punt lock that mud allows to return to our exit point here.:/ // /http://g.co/maps/2fqgv/ // /Returning to the cars we can then repair to The Tandem pub for a spot of lunch:/ /http://g.co/maps/932ur Sef & Jeremy and the Penguins and Polar Bears of the Thames e-mail: / /oxford(a)outdoorswimmingsociety.com <mailto:oxford@outdoorswimmingsociety.com> / / OSS swim responsibility statement: By attending you confirm that you are a member of the OSS and have read and accepted the OSS swim responsibility statement: http://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/index.php?p=swimming_tips&s=responsib… <http://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/index.php?p=swimming_tips&s=responsib…> All swimmers swim at their own risk./

After an exploratory dip on the 2nd January 2012 we are now ready to continue our quest to the end of the Thames. Initial plans suggest we could be at Maidenhead by the end of 2012, a 100km down stream. "A swim of a 100 klicks begins with a single stroke." /Lao-tzu// (604 BC - 531 BC)/. We will make a easy start to the year with a swim of 0.85km, from Donnington Bridge to Iffley Lock. Meet at 11.00am, Sunday 15th January 2012, at this car park: http://g.co/maps/s7v2s off Meadow Lane, Oxford, second-left after the canoe club. Meadow Lane is the last right turn off Donnington Bridge Road before the bridge from the town side, or the first left from the Hinksey side. The car park is an unkempt wee council number with plenty of bushes for changing in. It was free in December but bring a couple of squids just in case. We'll jump in the Thames just next to the car park, swim to Iffley Lock and, to warm up, walk back to the car park and get changed. Afterwards, we propose a pub lunch at the Isis Farmhouse, just before Iflley Lock - a must-visit on the pubs of the Thames tour that we are also engaged in - the same one we visited in December. If you listen hard enough, the river chatters, "a babbling procession of the best stories in the world, sent from the heart of the earth to be told at last to the insatiable sea," as the great Mole once recounted in the days before he learnt to swim, and twas in these waters that the Water Rat saved the gaolbird Toad and fell asleep to the Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

Hi Anne Thanks for the info. Would definitely be up for a Wye swim. Probably in the spring. Tend to stick to the pool in winter, being a softie a softie an all. Have a few Cheltenham based people who would be up for that also. ________________________________ From: "ossoxon-request(a)earth.li" <ossoxon-request(a)earth.li> To: ossoxon(a)earth.li Sent: Friday, 6 January 2012, 12:15 Subject: OSSOxon Digest, Vol 20, Issue 5 Send OSSOxon mailing list submissions to ossoxon(a)earth.li To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.earth.li/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ossoxon or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ossoxon-request(a)earth.li You can reach the person managing the list at ossoxon-owner(a)earth.li When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of OSSOxon digest..."

It is difficult as this time of the year the river does flow very fast and is high, often breaking the banks.? The only place that I know would be safe is where I get in at Kerne bridge, where they launch the canoes.? There is only a small area to have a little swim around, for me its more about keeping up the acclimitisation and enjoying the feeling of being out in the open water.? Really the only suitable place to exit the river from Kerne bridge would be at Lydbrook which would be a good half an hour if your really fast maybe 5 mins or so faster, or if more a gentile swimmer than maybe up to an hour or more and I wouldn't recommend doing that swim at this time of year for the reasons given above. ? I also enjoy going for a swim at the Chepstow Diving Centre, which is brilliant for swimming, you wouldn't have to worry about the flow of the river and the water is so clear, but ofcourse it is very deep, 85metres at the deepest point and is not lifeguarded as it is designed primarily for diving.? There is a panic button on the platform, but thats no good to you if your out having a swim and get into difficulty on your own.? I don't tend to go there at this time of year but start about April time when I am sure I can have a good swim, as it is a long way to go to just get in for acclimitisation purposes.? They are very good at the centre and are pro swimmers and only charge ?5 to go for a swim and it is not timed you could stay there all day if you wanted. ? If you or anyone else wanted to meet up to go into the river or the diving centre at any time I would be more than happy to do so.? I hope this is helpful. ? Regards Anne ? ?

All are welcome, we still have a way to go... Aren't we lucky to have such a river? So we can safeguard our future rights to river access, currently up for grabs in the Government's new initiative - "A New Era for the Waterways", can you take a minute to sign this e-petition asking that access should be at the heart of any new drive: https://submissions.epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/25118 Many thanks, and see you in the river, Sef
