Elsie Too May 2018 9:16pm, 31 May 2018 1,864 posts	0 Elsie Too I did my first (and second and third) sea swim this weekend. I was staying near a Cardigan. We swam at Mwnt on Sunday, there had been dolphins earlier in the day but not there when we swam unfortunately. Apparently we only did about 500m in about 40 minutes but it was very cold. The next day we went to Llangrannog, it felt warmer and we swam probably the same distance in less time(not so much stopping to look for Dolphins). Then Tuesday at Llangrannog again but less swimming (it was colder) and we took some of the kids that were with us paddling on surf boards to investigate some secret beaches that you couldn't walk to. It was fantastic
