I manage to miss this pretty much every single year - I should set myself a reminder.
Although there are way nicer sea swims around that area (albeit without marshals on paddle boards).

Padstow to Rock swim
Are you entering this for next year?
What distance is it - Not sure if I should enter the elite wave (30 mins or less) or the standard wave.
Also - having to print our and post the entry form. JHFC.

Also, did the Padstow to Rock swim back in August as, for once, I'd managed for our family holiday down there to coincide with it and also for me to snag a last minute entry.
Started off good in the glorious sunshine and instead of sticking to the left I'd followed some people off to the right so when the wind picked up it got rather choppy (1ft waves). Ended up approaching the slip at Rock through some of the boats to the South as the current had picked up a bit and pulled me further East than I wanted to be. Oops. Will know better next time.
Still, wasn't pulled from the water for being too slow and I'll do it again if the dates align.
