Open Water Swimming Get in the open water! Every Thursday a small group of us meet at Green Point (near the war memorial, in the car park where South Rd meets Beach Rd, Brighton)  at 7.00 am for an open water swim session.  This is not an official swim set, there are no life guards, no programs and no-one is in charge.  The water is cold and wetsuits are recomended (hypothermia takes about 20mins to set in without one, 25 mins with).  All are welcome, coffee at Omar's is a requirement afterwards.
