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.
