Hello swimmers,
It's such a lovely day haha that I thought I might think up a winter swim. It might depend on the weather, but I'm going to hazard *Sunday 12th December at 11.30 *as an option. If you want to join, meet at the carpark of the Trout Inn, Oxford
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&...
We can have a meander up the towpath and swim back down to the pub for some warming beverages. Any watchers and walkers would as always be welcome, for their wonderful support and also their carrying properties.
We can make it as long or short as we feel like - there are a number of places that are fine for getting in and out.
Please e- me back if you think you are coming so I have an idea of numbers.
I also reiterate that it is subject to the weather. If it looks to be an awful blizzard or potentially too too cold, then I will suggest we don't go, although you are free to do as you please! Please check e-mails in advance before you set off!
And don't forget this Saturday is the OSS Winter Dip at Parliament Hill Lido. http://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/index.php?p=events&s=&id=47

Dear all,
We have a few takers for Sunday's swim - so barring a blizzard we are go!
One or two have mentioned that they might forego neoprene. However, in case of a change of mind, if anyone who is coming fancies lending a spare (?) man's wetsuit. The man in question is 187cm/95kg/34inch waist. I don't really know what that is in real money - medium?
The 5-day weather report gives 4 degrees as the maximum air temperature and cloudy - so bring lots of woolies and warm tipples for afterwards.
See you Sunday!
