Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That might go round half of me! :)

Our local outdoor pool are getting everyone to write to their MP in advance of the debate on Wednesday to plead for swimming facilities to stay open. A forlorn hope I fear but I'm going to try.

I change under my towel then walk or cycle home or public transport. Takes about an hour. Hence needing lightweight changing robe.

I really hope our lake can stay open. I'll struggle otherwise as I live on my own and am struggling with the isolation.

Signed the petition

closing lakes, lidos,golf courses and the like does seem a bit of overkill can't imagine there's many if any cases of transmission at either

Isnt it a mix bag of emotions today. I cant quite work out what to think. We are lucky that we have plenty of open water around us IF we are allowed local travel

I will need a buddy as those options I would not swim alone

Threads like this and sub groups are so valuable for all of us. Certainly a strange feeing going into second lockdown

Lazy Daisy posted elsewhere that her lake is staying open. Ours is reviewing the guidance

There didn't seem to be a thread devoted to open water swimming, so I thought I'd start one.
