sluiper Posted March 27, 2014 Share Just in case any of you missed it, the Human Rights Day Swim that was supposed to happen on the 21st is now happening on the 30th. There's a 3km swim which should be a nice warm up for next week's Ironman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sluiper Posted March 27, 2014 Share Ha ha, sorry, meant to write 3 mile I'll be using a wetsuit. There are some very brave (read: insane) guys that will be doing the swim without wetsuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
