Tonka - I think East Grinstead tri have been using Weirwood this season for swimming but if you look at the water levels in there now, I doubt there is any swimming happening as they are so low. rode past there the other week.
I've just been for a swim in the Serpentine today and it was weed free, although I wouldn't describe it as beautiful - rather just pretty murky. Dorney lake is ok at the mo as well
It's so tight i can't even breathe in it! Srsly i have never been able to wear a wetsuit without weeing in it at some point but there just wasn't any room. i swear all my faculties just seized up, lol!
Definitely recommend the lake though. You can run round it too and some energetic peeps were doing a few circuits.
There's biscuits and tea on tap too. Me likey very much.
Dusty, you say that as if I'm quick! I'm no quicker than In the Blue or Trogs, who both did a faster time than I did on the Thames swim!! I hope there aren't any speedboats! The waves are a right pain! I intend to try out my Pirate kit cycling over and back, weather permitting!

Will the normal lakes be open on BH Monday do you think? Have not used Heron or Datchet at all this year yet.
Managed not to drown or wee in wetsuit (it was far too tight!)although very slow. thanks Mr Happy for recommendation.

Thanks, debster!

Sounds like a party on Wednesday! Great.
Any more??
Would love to come on Wednes too but sadly I work until 7/7.30 most days so unlikely to make it. Hope the weather holds for you all.
Will Siggy be able to get up enough speed to tow the water skiers?

Dusty, they have two loops there, 400m and 750m. No speedboats.
It was a good venue, earlier in the summer when it was quiet. If you lot are all going that'll change
read the thread title too quickly and thought it said ' WEEFREE swimming '....
