Felixstowe Swimscapes Sea swimming pod/group is up and swimming, with a fine season opener on May 7th. An impressive and diverse 20 swimmers were there, including 9 from Woodbridge - plus good support and alot of interest from Bank Holiday strollers on the Prom. It was cold, about 10C, but everyone was in at least 20mins, some 45mins or so, and the Woodbridge group swam to the town hall and back, about 2km. Quite a strong S>>N current, and a bit of a chop, but really we were v lucky with the weather. Nick, an in-training Channel swimmer, swam w/o wetsuit, as did Brendan, but he didn't swim quite as far! Maddy also was in and looked the part. Amy, Brucey and Elliott blew hard on a vuvuzela, adding to a bit of a carnival atmosphere.
Flapjacks and Alice's ginger cake went down very well, and Rosie did her usual magic with the camera.
