Four days and counting

Hope you have made most of the final weekend before Swim the Door 2011? It was a good opportunity to buy those new swim trunks/costumes you have always wanted and even, if you really think you need them, wetsuits!! I’ve even received some texts suggesting some people have had a cold bath to get use to the sea temperature! Silly, its bound to be warmer than last year. It always is!!!

Only 7 days to Swim the Door 2011

Only 7 days to STD11 and everything is looking good. Please start thinking about your preferred inflatable animal to accompany you on your STD. Also note that an “early early bird swim” has now been added for the Thursday evening arrivals (Jono says he has plenty of room in his tent that night- well I think thats what he said. Aiming for 4.30pm but depends what time I get away from work etc.

Swim the Door Reconnaissance

Checking the facilities.

To ensure the success of STD11 a reconnaissance trip took place on Sunday 15th May. This is the report from attendees: “Sea definately much warmer than last year” (Russell- age 49 and 1 day); “food and beer same prices as last year” (Julia- age unknown); “the kids play area is definately better than last year” (Chloe- age 5 years) “everything looks better than last year” (Digger- soon to be a year older).
