Subject: RE: swimming against a strong currentHi there- I'm doing Sandman, too. In previous years they would go out the morning of the race and determine the direction of the current and decide the swim direction. The swim last year was difficult WITH THE CURRENT, but with heavy surf. They rescued many people from the water. This year if we have heavy surf coupled with swimming against the current, it could be a recipe for disaster! Anyway.. I swam in just tri shorts and top last year, but will wear a sleeveless wetsuit this year regardless of water temp for safety reasons (buoyancy ). I know this didn't address your question, but I just wanted to say good luck to you on Sunday. |
