What a year! ... 2010 saw 1SOMS exceeding the 100 swimmer count on 3 occasions.. Open water swimming in the Cape continues to grow..

The roots of 1SOMS is the Clifton Cold Water Mile of 2006 ...The Annual New Years Day Swim fell on a Sunday.. It seems a fortune of time ago... the original 5 still are participants..albeit almost as a tag team..I have not done the analysis but suspect that at least 1 of the 5 are at each swim..

The Clifton Cold Water Mile 2011 is this Saturday.. Registration is from 11am (not 10h30 as the calendar shows) ; Race briefing will be at 12 o'clock and the swim will get underway 15 minutes later...
As its a midday swim - any slap bang in the middle of middle of fry time.. please bring down an umbrella.. Sunscreen should be applied - but try keep it out of your goggles! Also a water bottle is suggested.

The 1st Sunday of the Month Swim is this Sunday ..Registration is from 08h15-08h50; Race briefing will be at 9 o'clock and the swim will get underway 15 minutes later...

Sea you on the beach..
