The route of the Clyde Swim on Saturday 20 August 2011 had to be altered due to the effect of wind strength (SW F4 gusting to F6) on safety cover. Rather than crossing over from Kilcreggan, participants swam alongside Greenock Esplanade and back to the RWSABC. Nevertheless all swimmers and kayakers did a good job, as did the rescue cover provided by the RNLI, MOD Police, Sea Cadets and the Police launch, along with other RWSABC members.
