When do you do E 1000 swims?
The Saturday and Sunday morning groups regularly do endurance swims, where swimmers take turns to timekeep and record each other.
There are also one-off sessions on other days so keep an eye out on our WhatsApp group chat for when they're running.
Or, you can do an endurance swim with your watch at anytime and enter it on a recording sheet in the club room.
