Just went for first OW swim this morning at Shepperton in Ferry Lake - beautiful lake, lots of first timers and really nice, friendly organisers.

Managed not to drown or wee in wetsuit (it was far too tight!)although very slow. thanks Mr Happy for recommendation.

Holly - not a weed in sight!

Here is link - first swim free, thereafter £4

I've just been for a swim in the Serpentine today and it was weed free, although I wouldn't describe it as beautiful - rather just pretty murky. Dorney lake is ok at the mo as well

It's so tight i can't even breathe in it! Srsly i have never been able to wear a wetsuit without weeing in it at some point but there just wasn't any room. i swear all my faculties just seized up, lol!

Definitely recommend the lake though. You can run round it too and some energetic peeps were doing a few circuits.

There's biscuits and tea on tap too. Me likey very much.

Couldn't see any on Sun morning Dustboy but they obviously hadn't fired up the BBQ at that point

Would love to come on Wednes too but sadly I work until 7/7.30 most days so unlikely to make it. Hope the weather holds for you all.

Anyone know the loop sizes? 400M? 1500M?

Will Siggy be able to get up enough speed to tow the water skiers?

Dusty, you say that as if I'm quick! I'm no quicker than In the Blue or Trogs, who both did a faster time than I did on the Thames swim!!
I hope there aren't any speedboats! The waves are a right pain!
I intend to try out my Pirate kit cycling over and back, weather permitting!

Dusty, they have two loops there, 400m and 750m.  No speedboats.

It was a good venue, earlier in the summer when it was quiet.  If you lot are all going that'll change
