The swimming conditions were wonderful today. At 11 the air temp was 64° and heading towards the low 70's. It was clam and the water was still glassy, 58° to 59°! and clean! I don't know where the plankton went but I assume it will be back but today was pure fun.
Tiki is back from Berkeley, no longer a freshman and had not been in the water since last fall. She was interested in doing about a mile so we got in on the west side and swam a triangle to the first buoy on the left side of the pier.
At that point Jamie caught up with us and Tiki went in. We swam another triangle back to the first buoy on the right side where,
Niel and Tiki at the end of the Avila Pier.
Haley caught up with us. She is from Fresno, was in Avila with her family and wanted to get in hir first ocean swim prior to doing an Alcatraz swim with her Master's group. She was happy with swimming about a mile so we would do my third triangle. Jamie wanted to do a bit more so she swam with us to the 4th buoy and returned to the pier. Haley and I completed the triangle, she had a great time and should be back in a couple of week for more. With nothing to top me up along the way I was spent ready for lunch.
Everybody enjoyed the clean and warmer water today.
I'll be back on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings at 7 and next Sunday at 11.
