Cat - well I don't seem to have any 'bites' from swimming, so maybe the slightly cooler weather has sorted the swimmers itch out??

Also weed didn't seem that bad down the back straight (although straight is something that is rarely used when describing my swimming!!)

Good news. Keep an eye on your arms/legs where the wettie doesn't cover. I didn't seem to pick anything new up on Thursday.

Yeeeeharrr! Been down and done my first open water swim of the year . Water was warm, they've culled the weeds, and as yet no bites. Will be down there on Thursday as well if I can get away.

Well done Fraggle!! But the bads news is the bites take a day or two to materialise!! (But if they've sorted the weed out you should be OK )

Good for you Fraggle. I was there earlier too. SWIMMING IN THE FECKIN WEEDS.

There are huge great bushes of weeds on the first 200m or so of the back stretch, that now reach almost out of the water.....freaks me out that stuff. Water was lovely and warm.

Rafi - does this mean you are afflicted?

Cat5 - I did notice those weeds,but didn't think they were too bad (or maybe it was just that my sighting was crap and I was not quite on the racing line lol )

One fresh one on my hand. Thats it, back in the pool tomorrow. Not risking any more itching.

It's definitely not on the racing line....that's why I'm all eaten.
