Niel's Thursday Swim Report - 

The air temp was 59°, the water was 58° there wa a light wind from the SE, the surf was 1 to 3 foot and the water had 2 foot plus waves from the SE.  It was comfortable in the water but at times it felt like I was moving more verticaly than horozontaly. The effort required to get out to the first buoy and down the line towards #4 convinced me that I did not want to stick with my initial plan of swimming to the end of the Poly Pier.  I decided to complete a triangle and to then see how I felt about more of this.

I was done after the one trip around the pier and came in. I spoke with Duke at the showers. He had shortened his swim and soak because of the conditions.   

If we get an inch or two of rain tonight and some more on Friday the Saturday morning swim will be scrubbed due to teh bacteria contect of the water.

The Central Coast Aquarium is having their open house Saturday from 9 to 3.  There is a lot of cool stuff going on there so it is worth a look.
