This morning we held our first Gyro Time Trial for the 2010 season (for non-locals: timed 800m swim from Gyro Beach with open water swim clinic beforehand). 17 swimmers followed our coach Brent into the not-so-balmy waters of Lake Okanagan (14 degrees) to get instructions on open water swimming before embarking on their first timed loop. Everybody was smiling when back on the beach; however, Brent (who never swims with a wetsuit, including his crossing of the English Channel!) was keen to get into the hot tub at H2O asap 🙂
Leanne Manlove will be coaching next week and we’re looking forward to seeing everybody out next Saturday!
