Dear DSC swimmers
This message is sent out to those who entered for the Southsea
P2P Open Water Swim on Sunday 11th September 2011, and for whom I
have email addresses available.
Details are as follows:
Junior 800 metre event
This race is swum in a circuit between the Portsmouth
Lifeguard Headquarters (next to Rocksbys Restaurant) and South
Parade Pier. Relevant times are as follows:
10.00 am - Please meet Tony Langham/Roger
Bailey next to the Portsmouth Lifeguard HQ , Clarence Esplanade
Southsea PO5 3PG to check off Dorking swimmers competing.
10.30am - All Junior swimmers must report to
the event organisers on the beach by the Lifeguard HQ.
10.45 am - Safety briefing outside Lifeguard
HQ (Won't be allowed to swim by organisers if not attended).
11.00am - Race Start.
2 km Pier to Pier Event
This race is between the Hoverport at Clarence Pier and South
Parade Pier. Relevant times are as follows:
12.30pm - Please meet Roger Bailey/Tony at
the Hoverport, Clarence Parade PO5 to check off all Dorking
swimmers.
1.00pm - Safety briefing by organisers at
same location (won't be allowed to swim if not attended).
1.30pm - Race start
Those who have been before will know parking gets a bit busy
late morning, early afternoon.
The car park sign posted for the Visitor Information Centre,
Clarence Parade PO5 3PB is convenient as half way between
start/finish of 2km event. There is pay parking on all local
streets.
Hopefully some of you will be interested in meeting up after
the prize giving for an impromptu club social gathering at a local
venue for a meal or drink as we did last year.
I have attached a google map/aerial view for those who have
not been to Southsea before.
If you know in advance that you are no longer able to attend
and compete, please take the time to email me back. That will save
us chasing up any stragglers on the day.
Look forward to seeing everyone at the beach! MAP BELOW
