I’ve just signed up for a 2.25mile swim in the Thames in July. What was I thinking?
North Downs Way 100
Aaaaaaargh!

ooh, for a minute there i read 25 mile swim, presume that would be from somewhere near Putney out to sea ! Where are you doing that? sounds like a brilliant idea.
Love it – where’s the swim?
(I also read 25 miles – blimeys)
Hampton Court down and round and up to Kingston.
Wow… I’m in awe already! I can’t even swim 2.5 metres!
You must have been thinking, “ooooo, I haven’t drank any scuzzy water for a little while, how can I rectify such a situation?”
Hmmm. I don’t remember that, but it certainly fits the known facts.
Blimey, last time I went swimming I couldn’t manage 25 metres, let alone 2.5 miles. Good luck!
Not so much Aaaarrgh as ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww in my book, watch out for floaters!
Not sure what you were thinking but I’m thinking “Nutter!”
Have just clicked the link on your blog to the event – looks fabulous. Loved the bit about ‘meandering past Thames Ditton’! Other than seaside dips I have never done an open water swim (well, not on purpose anyway!) but am now wondering if I should catch the wave.
You should definitely try open water swimming…but beware, you may get hooked. Events themselves can be a bit of a scrum, especially at the start, but swimming in a lake is wonderful. No adjusting your pace to other swimmers like in a pool. Bliss.
