I loved the swim today............the river was like a mill pond which meant had to work in both directions..............the sun was shining and the river wasn't cold.....perfect............infact too perfect for IMW training
furthest ever swim apart from the 2 IM swims.................
I even managed to stay on M.Tri 's feet for 20 m on the return until i lost him again
Is any swimming going on on Saturday morning? I'm in Cardiff, still trying to decide whether to cycle down or do a swim. I'd like to do both but there just isn't enough time in the day!
Where is the nearest place to Newport to OW swim. Is it Parc Bryn Txmksncjdvsd or whatever? I'm frequently down that way for work and it would beat the hotel pool.
You could try sneeking into the Celtic Manor and park up by one of the small lakes there. There was a wetsuit tester session there and it was really good. One of the overflow car parks is right next to a 100m stretch...
bryn bach is not open to swimming.............infact we found out that there is nowhere which is why we found the river swimming at the Taff..................best thing that happened because its free and lovely
Its just 10/15 mins from newport so if you fancy it sometime let us know and i'm sure someone can join you
I think I'll skip this weekends swim, I've pulled something in my shoulder that meant I couldn't pull through properly on this mornings swim. Lots of time for it to get better so no point risking making worse!
Thanks, I'm not too worried, 2 weeks is plenty to rest it and I do like an excuse to get out of the long swimming practises, I get bored when it gets to more than 45 mins!
despite having a massive mix grill tonight and a bottle of wine I'm sure I will be fine in the morning and keen to battle the torrents of the Taff.........
Not sure now about swimming this week.........on antibiotics and antibiotic cream for a foor infection i picked up on the marathon last sunday.........It still hasn't cleared so I might be better avoiding swimming until I get to Tenby just in case

Who can make a Taff swim Monday evening after work?
No worries. I used to live in Fboro. You get around as much as me!
