31st August 2015 Wild - Open Water Swimming: Aberystwyth Wind Direction: Calm Wind Stength: Calm Surf / Sea State: Calm Air Temperature: 14ºC Sea Temperature: 17ºC Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: A lovely swim with a big group of people, so the usual social gathering before hand and mutual assistance of zipping up wetsuits etc and a fair bit of stopping and chatting on the way from South Brach around to North Beach. This time though we were heading further north to Clarach. We stopped by Consti to look for others who were supposed to be joining us but no sign of them so continued on our way. We were getting a little split up by now as we were all swimming at different paces but most people were together and those that were a little slower had worn fins so were actually swimming faster than many. I was swimming in the shadow of the rocks and out at the front but stopped every now and then to wait for others to catch up. Morgan and I then spotted Helen and probably Larry or Richard a little further out and continuing to swim north so we decided to continue on to Clarach and all re-group there. The others behind us were all in little groups too. As I got to Clarach before the others I decided to do a little loop of the bay and then loop back to them on the beach where we all gathered for a little natter. We were joined by Alistair who had indeed decided to join us from Consti after all, but hadn't seen us coming so left after us and tried to catch us up. After about 10-15 mins on the beach at Clarach some people were getting cold so started to head off. I'd told the others I had to be back at South beach for 10:30 so now only had 45 minutes to get back which should be doable if I didn't stop too much. I told them I'd swim back out in front ahead of them on my own so not to worry about me during the head counts on the way back and I headed off. Helen came with me in the end as she was feeling cold and didn't want to wait around getting colder. The swim back was good, not too much trouble from the currents and all at a nice steady pace so that Helen and I arrived back at South Beach just after 10:30 with a total time of 1:58 and around 7km covered it wasn't a bad pace for the distance, especially when you factor in the stops on the way to Clarach and 15 minutes or so chatting on the beach in Clarach as well. |
