Big Bay, Big Bang, July Fourth Swim."


NOTE July 4th Swim Location and Time:  BIG BAY PARK, at 10:00 a.m.  

Typical Schedule and Locations for Kru Swims:  The Typical/Regular Schedule (all at Klode Beach):  M-F 6 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.;  Sat. & Sun.  8 a.m. and noon.  (Check blog comments, for additional "impromtu" group swims, or changes.)     

Holiday Location Rationale:  Klode Beach and Atwater Beach I'm told are both closed on the 4th, so they can get the fireworks shows set up.  Hence the special "Big Bay, Big Bang, July Fourth Swim."  It may be that others are going to try to sneak in an early morning swim at Klode (check the comments for details).
