As I am currently in the business of re-releasing old blog posts, and in an effort to make my blogging life more efficient, I thought I’d dig this baby up from last summer, rather than write a brand new post for 2014…
Calling all swimmers, triathletes, and adventurous ones, near and far, young and old:
Once again, I will be setting up a couple of buoys and going for a morning circuit swim ’round them at the Ventura Pier (err…just to the north of it) on the regular. I am hoping that a solid group of crazy people would like to join me! No cost, except for a couple of marbles and caloric expenses. “Crazy person” qualification standards include, but are not limited to:
- Willingness to swim in the ocean
- Desire to get up early in the morning to swim
- Being human, age 18 or older…or must have parent consent
- Ability to swim at least 500 meters in the ocean comfortably without assistance
- Wetsuit-wearing is not mandatory, but welcome, and, in some cases, encouraged
- Agreement not to sue Brittany for any unfortunate ocean swim-related incidents
- Please fill out this mandatory online waiver
Swims will be every Friday, 6-7am, from August 1st through September 12th August 29th:
- Friday, August 1st, 6-7am

- Bring suit, cap, goggle, towel, warm/dry clothes, water/snack for afterwards, lube/body glide, water to rinse feet, sandals to walk to beach, swim accessories (nose clip, ear plugs, booties…)

If you would like to join in on the craziness, please contact me by commenting on this post, or by leaving a message/comment on the BrittFit Facebook Page. Your response is necessary so that I can be sure to let you know of any changes/cancellations. I will also ask you to fill out the mandatory online waiver before attending a workout with me.
