A Sign Of Winter: Swim Lines Out Of The Water


Swim line buoys lined Fisherman's Beach like toppled bowling pins Thursday morning.

It's a sign of winter.

DPW will gather the buoys, and their chains and anchors and haul them away for storage, said Swampscott Recreation Director Danielle Strauss.

The buoys were bobbing at Eisman's and Phillips Beaches marking the swim area over the summer.

Where did it go?

We aren't likely to see a large crew of swimmers in Swampscott beaches for a while.

That would be Jan. 1. The Polar Plunge.
