[OSS Oxon] Swim this Friday?

[Cath Barton]

Hi Louise, I cant make a swim this friday but would like to take this opportunity to ask if Ginny on this email list?

If so, hi Ginny! the bank details you gave me are incorrect, could you resend them so i can put the money for the gloves in your account.  

Thanks, cath

> Hi - (does this go out to everyone?) does anyone fancy a swim up from Port Meadow Car Park and back, Friday morning, half 9ish meet.  I've got until about 11, so would go up stream for a bit and back - wetsuit on (no heroics) - wanting to push it a little but not so much as to miss the experience

This is the second swim of the OSS Swim the Thames event and we will pick up where we left off at Water Eaton footbridge. Hopefully by now the Thames will be deep enough to allow for more swimming than wading. The swim will combine swims 3 and 4 from Michael Worthington's book - 'I Love the Thames' - and will cover about 3km. If the going gets too heavy we can always stop part way and re-schedule the remainder for another day.

Following our experience with swim (wade) #1 this is going to require a decent pair of 'feet' - a pair of surf boots with thick grip soles - but you can get cheap shoes of the kind that you can buy at the beach for very little and they'll do, either on their own, or with a pair of wetsuit socks which are again quite cheap.
