Saturday, February 22nd, 2025

It was a nice morning in Avila Beach, 41°, calm and sunny with thin high clouds.  Cal Fire was there conducting the ocean swimming qualifications for the new recruits.  They are required to make it out, around and back along the Avila Pier in 18 minutes. That is an 850M swim. I'll have to try that and see what my time is.     
Jodi, Niel and Tom Israel did a short swim. Tom had a wedding to go to, and Jodi and Niel were looking for something shorter than our usual, so we swam left down the buoy line, around the buoy at the rock, to the end of the pier, to the #2 buoy and in.  The water was 50 - 51°, so today's swim number was 91.
We all thought that the water felt extra cold and were guessing 49 or so. 


Niel, Jodi and Tom at the 4th buoy.

I'll be back tomorrow to swim at 11.
