I've just entered the 6k Big Welsh Swim! This might have been a bit optimistic, seeing as I generally only do about just over a mile normally. Oh well, plenty of time to train!

The Thames mara/half has the benefit of the river flow with you, so faster than swimming on the flat as it were :-)

I watch this website
thameswater.co.uk

and the water round this part of the world is (relatively) clean. Would recommend it if you're interested.

I missed it this year due to a family holiday so I'm definitely in for the half next year.

There didn't seem to be a thread devoted to open water swimming, so I thought I'd start one.
