soco open water group. ocean swims, westport and fairhaven

Honestly: most people who try ocean swimming do not in fact like it. BUT, there are a rare few who really, really love it. The point is it's worth trying once. If you don't like it, no problem. If you do, you will be glad to have learned that earlier rather than later.

The best way to see what we are doing is instagram. @soco_open. We try to do 4 swims per week, weather permitting. 1,500 to 4,000 yards.

2 from Fairhaven: Sunday mornings 7am and Wednesday evenings 6pm
1 from Westport: Wednesday evenings 6pm
1 from Mattapoisett: Friday 7am.

Fairhaven: swim from West Island town beach (from the parking lot, there are two entrances to the beach. Take the one closer to the concrete tower.)

Westport: swmming from Gooseberry Island.
