Veteran  499   El Segundo, CA |  Subject: Manhattan Beach pier swimmers...Question for folks who do the LA Tri Club Manhattan Beach ocean swim on Sunday mornings: Can you confirm that swimming from lifeguard tower 28 to the pier is actually a full mile? I ask because I swam it yesterday and was surprised by my time (28:43), which seemed too fast, given my usual swim times. |

Veteran 499 El Segundo, CA | Subject: RE: Manhattan Beach pier swimmers... Not sure about the yellow house, but I'm guessing it was the usual starting point for the 1-mile. Even if it was slightly under a mile, this swim took me ~40 minutes last year, so I'm pretty excited about that. Maybe there was a current... |

As for timing OWS, it's hard to compare year to year (other than a big gain in time like yours) because, as you said, there is current. Sometimes it's with you, sometimes against you, sometimes none  |
