    A great bunch of ladies and gents meet up every Saturday and Sunday at the 40ft at 12pm for a swim. They go around the yellow buoys. They stop at each buoy and depending on how cold it is they decide whether to go to the next buoy. They are mostly from Glenalbyn Sc and welcome anyone. Just tell them it's your first time and they will look after you.

    Hey just thinking about tagging along is this a a regular thing every week year round .And how far of a swim is the yellow buoy.

    Yes it's regular thing. I hope to be out there Sunday as usual. First buoy is about 30/40meters max. We swim out to first buoy and gauge how cold it is then some swim to 2nd buoy and then back the way they came, others only do first buoy and back in. The more insane do the 3 buoys and either finish in at the 40ft or swim all the way back. Your more than welcome to join in. Oh btw it's pure skins, none of us wear wetsuits but that's up to you.

    I was I last week for the first time since October down the 40ft. Boy it was freezing, I didn't even make it out to the first bouy and I would have classed myself as a hardy sea swimmer. Roll on a few months till it warms up a bit!!

    Looking forward to the sea swim calendar already.
