With the registration deadline for this year's Huntington/Cold Spring Harbor 1&2-Mile Open Water Swim a little more than 24 hours away, and the Swim itself just six days hence, the volume of text messages and e-mail exchanges between and among Swim organizers has suddenly increased, as final details are addressed and looming problems resolved, while the number of registrants creeps steadily upward toward the 300-swimmer cap...Meanwhile, back on the Beach, it's been "swimming as usual," though the Sailboat and North and South Buoys have received more than their usual number of visitors as Pod members and Swim organizers rinse away their stress in the healing Salt, and "newbies" come to preview the Swim course and conditions in advance of Sunday's race. Registration closes tomorrow (Tuesday) night at 11:59 p.m., so if you haven't registered yet, tick...tick...tick...! Group swims are planned this week for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings at 6:30 (in the water!) and Friday and Saturday mornings at 8:00. Sunday morning's group swim is cancelled because of the Race, but feel free to join Pod members and Race organizers and volunteers in a celebratory post-Swim swim after the last award is handed out and the Beach is set back to rights....!
