Hi Toby / Helen

Most people use the Facebook Groups to arrange swims now. There is OSS Thames https://www.facebook.com/groups/408652865865144/ and OSS Windsor and Maidenhead https://www.facebook.com/groups/524929157621394/ that mainly covers the Jubilee.

Hi Helen,

I swim in the Thames near Reading.

I have never actually met up with any OSSRATS, but would be really keen to.

It would be fun, I would meet like minded folks and it would be good to share/hear stories/learn from experiences.

I intend to try out the Tri20 Lake, near Madjeski Stadium this morning.

Yesterday I went for a swim near Tilehurst (around appletree and poplar islands) and I received a:

Slightly aggressive "Wot you doing!" from someone in a boat.

Received criticism from a swarm of canoists for not having a bouy attached to me

Then on return my girlfriend tells me someone was saying I shouldn't be swimming in the Thames: weils disease etc

I will try to have emails from this address forwarded to my other email account so I can respond more reliably.

Look forward to hearing form you

Toby

I've been out of the loop - is this email group still functioning?

I'm in Reading and would love to get swimming again. Anything going on?

cheers, Helen
