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
