From the start of November wearing a wetsuit to all sea swims is reccomended but not necessary as we will check the sea temperature on the day and put a message on the members groupchat.
We will meet down at Royal William Yard (RWY) by the water for a social swim - we will message the groupchat beforehand so everyone knows exactly where we will be. Every attendee must have completed the pool section of their swim competency check and they will be required to complete the sea competency check if they haven't done so already.
Session Lead / Land Officer - Matt Hansen
Paddleboard Lifeguard - Jasper Allen
Swim lead - TBD
All leaders and lifeguards are appropriately qualified and we have the correct kit to conduct a session safely and properly.
Judging by the current forecast, a 15 minute time limit will be imposed to ensure maximum safety, but this will be reviewed closer to the time. 20 attendees maximum as there is only one lifeguard present.
Wind is low to moderate. Chance of rain is low. Air temp is forecast to be around 13-15 degrees. Water temp is TBC estimated at 12-14 degrees.
