Sea Swim Training for Edinburgh Ironman 70.3 - Any ideas?

Hi team, 

I think there are a few Windrushers heading to Edinburgh for the Ironman 70.3 on 1st July, as it's a sea swim I wondered if anyone is planning a trip to the seaside for a practice?

It will be my first sea swim so if anyone has any good tips, or knows of a training session or swim I could go to before 1st July, I would love to hear about it. 

Thanks! 

Zoe

I'm up from this Rosie! Sounds like a perfect cycling and swimming day out!

I was thinking of trying to persuade people down to Bournemouth on weekend of the 16th of June. It's just about cyclable from London (or a direct 2hr train) and there are lots of nice swims along the coast line or pier to pier. 

I would love to come with you to Felixstowe Margie but can't make it this wknd. Keep us updated if you're going again though!

This sounds great and I am potentially very interested, Margaret- I am waiting to hear if my niece or nephew is going to make an appearance this week up towards that part of the world, if they do, then I will definitely come this Saturday, if they don't I will be happy to do another week.

I am swimming in the sea at Old Felixstowe this Saturday. I was planning on spending Friday night with my sister in Ipswich and catching the train from work, but if other Windrushers are keen I could drive early Saturday morning instead. We would need to leave around 7:45. There is a large group of regulars that swim every Saturday of the year. There are no safety boats or showers, but there are toilets and snacks for sale from a lovely beach hut.

The temperature is currently 10-11. I was hoping it would be warmer by now, but need to get some sea swims in. Many of the swimmers are in skins, but I will be in my wetsuit. Towfloats are recommended.

Let me know if anyone is interested.
