Dropped the children off for their school bus at 7:50 on Laleham Wharf and headed back up stream and watched what I thought were two ducks fighting.

I aimed for them to break them up, but fortunately realised in good time it was actually a swimmer in cap and wetsuit heading down river!!

I franticly beat my phone camera into life and took this distant shot and he continued on until out of sight!

The chap went past again this morning at 7:15.

Bonkers!

I've come across a couple of swimmers further up river this year, one just above Hurley in the lock cut.

They were both right in the middle of the channel and in one case I was extremely lucky to see the guy as the sun was in my eyes.

On another occasion a walker gave me a right b*ll*ck*ng because I didnt notice his dog was swimming mid channel !
 
I always thought Robson Green was a place until I saw him swimming at night here at South Stoke along with a film crew. Maybe he started something because Saturday saw a whole bunch of people night swimming here. There must be around 20 of them and they all came in the Perch & Puke afterwards for a meal.
