And they are away...

The round-the-baths race (700 metres) (about).  We start at one end, swim to the end of the baths, then back to where we started. 

As you can see, the round-the-baths race is an informal affair and allows flippers, any swimming stroke, walking in the shallows, no age limit and much banter.  The winner is not the first home, but whoever swims closest their nominated time.  For this reason, there is one rule for this race: you cannot wear watch. 

This is how the baths look before we hit the water...

...and this is the baths after we hit the water.  We are indeed a force of nature.

Here is another force of nature: our beloved, much respected and handsome handicapper.
