Well, that didn’t last long. The Thursday evening happy hour swims (called officially by the organizers “Thursday Open Water Sunset Swims”) are back! As my dear reader(s) know from a few blog posts back, the National Harbor folks denied WaveOne permission to hold the evening swim practices. But that denial lasted all of two weeks.

WaveOne’s founder Denis Crean sent out an email to his distro list yesterday stating unequivocally that the swims “resume June 5 at 7:15pm.” Period. Dot. Simple. Wonderful. Seems the local community came together on this one:

We extend our sincerest thanks to the community of open water swimmers, triathletes and paddlers who stood behind WaveOne and voiced their support for the importance of safe open water swimming in the Washington, DC area. We welcome you back to the Thursday night Sunset Swims and look forward to sharing your continued growth and successes as open water swimmers and triathletes.

Thank you to all the locals here who helped bring this wonderful event back. Bravi!
