Green Algae in bloom.

I'm learning things everyday with my swimming and today is was all about the algae being in bloom. During my last couple of swims I've been aware of the spotted green water more and more. Today it was like swimming through sludge and it was really not very nice.  Apparently the algae is in bloom at the moment and with the weather at the weekend it's churned it all up. I'm told that it will improve but I really did not enjoy it today. The lack of visibility in the water also meant that I didn't see the random bits of weed floating in the water that crept up on me and entangle itself in my fingers and round my legs!

Fearless open water swimmer.... I think not !
