April 14.  EXPERIENCED marathon swimmer Theodore Yach announced that a limited group of 30 experienced open water swimmers will meet at 3 Anchor Bay tomorrow for a 5.4 km swim from Clifton Fourth Beach back to 3 Anchor Bay in Cape Town.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<i>The route will follow the coast line and finish at slipway at 3 Anchor Bay<\/i>,&#8221; explains <a href=\"http:\/\/openwaterpedia.com\/index.php?title=Theodore_Yach\">Yach<\/a>.  Sounds easy until he continues on.  &#8220;<i>Lifeguards will assist with water exit if conditions dictate.  Safe exit points along the route will be marked with orange buoys &#8212; ambulance to follow swimmers along the route.<\/p>\n<p>The ambulance will always be in contact with power craft.  Dr. <a href=\"http:\/\/openwaterpedia.com\/index.php?title=Sean_Gottschalk\"target=\"_blank\">Sean Gottschalk<\/a> [an emergency medicine practitioner] will be in attendance and will monitor all swimmers as they exit the water.

The April timing is to allow swimmers to test themselves before the Freedom Swim in May. I do this swim as a training swim fairly often and it is a spectacular route and is the only sea swim that spectators can follow 100% as swimmers will not be more than 200 meters off the coastline at any point in the swim<\/i>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.openwaterswimming.com\"target=\"_blank\"><strong>Open Water Source<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAPE TOWN, South Africa.
