Come along, run at your own pace and enjoy the morning with the club. Parking is available in the main car park (£5 for non-National Trust members; free for members with a valid membership card).

SEA PALLING SWIM AND SOCIAL Its been a while since we have got together at Sea Palling for a swim and social. The weather is looking ok at 22oC the tide will be going out, the water temperature is 18oC and there is little wind. We will meet under the lifeguard station, which is on your left hand side as you go down the slope. This is not a training or coached session so no payment or membership cards are required, and swimmers  are responsible for themselves.  Wetsuits and tow floats are recommended. There is no maximum or minimum swim distance you have to do, the aim is to have an enjoyable swim or just come for a paddle,  with other club members. We will try and keep everyone together or divide into groups depending on how many people there are. Afterwards there is the option to have fish & chips, doughnuts, ice-cream  hot or cold drink etc and have a good chat. There are a few car parks near the sea front be aware there are some car parks than don't charge after a certain time. It will be good to see you.
