Herne Bay Pier to Pier swim - 29th July

Hello Windies!

Off the back of the Edinburgh sea swim practice, I've spotted a swim event that might be of interest to people wanting some sea swimming..

Herne Bay Pier to Pier swim has a 750m, 1.5km or 3km option, all of which let you experience sea swimming! It starts at 2pm, so there's no stress about accommodation. Get the train down in the morning, do the swim, have fish and chips, get the train back. The sign up link is: https://www.britishtriathlon.org/events/Active-Life-Pier-to-Pier-Sw...

I will be signing up for the 3km option, but would really encourage anyone curious about/interested in/desperate for some sea swimming. Post below if you're interested in coming along too.

Hello, yeah keen on Swimming !! Herne Bay is only 60 odd miles, maybe some Windie would be interested in Cycling Down ? or train and cycle back ? just throwing out another option into the mix.

I am a definitely a maybe. Keen on the 3k as it is a better pound per meter to swim.

Even if it's 60 odd miles, I think I'd prefer the gentler start before swimming 3km in the sea! I might declare myself non-cycling for this one. The lure of fish and chips post-swim before getting on a train is too strong.
