Yesterday was the Chalkwell Redcaps 'Fish and Chip Swim'.  You may be asking yourself, 'why is it called the Fish and Chip Swim?'   I'll explain that in a minute, but the swim starts in Westcliff-on-Sea near a row of cafes called the Arches.  From there, you swim parallel with the shore to a huge memorial stone in the water called the Crowstone.  After meeting with a few other people, we swam the rest of the way to a place called Leigh Old Town.  It is roughly 2.8km of swimming, but it sure felt like a lot more than that!

​Although the weather was really nice, the sea was quite choppy, so it made it extra hard to a) see the rest of the group, and b) swim in a straight line!   After about 1800m of swimming, I actually felt sea-sick from all the waves!  I eventually had to get out 100m before the finish as I threw up (disgusting, I know!)  At least I now know that I get sea-sick!

​Once you finish, the whole team sits at the local pub and has a few pints (or diet cola for me as I don't drink) and a portion of their local fish and chips.  I have to admit, after that swim, it was the best fish and chips I had ever tasted!
