Pismo Beach Swimmer - Cold Water

I saw this article about a hardy individual who decided to swim 6 miles accompanied by a buddy in a kayak on New Year's Day. He made it.

Churchill Swim Fins

I love my Churchill fins. Need a new pair but don't want to spend fifty bucks.

There was someone else in my ocean

I swim around the pier in Oceanside, California after work and whenever, but the other day I saw three guys swimming in as I was dressing in my wet suit. Now, what's so unusual about that?

I rarely see anybody swimming out past the breakers in Oceanside. I guess the secret is out.
