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!

If only I could lose enough weight to fit in mine I would go for a sea swim. Walk there and back. Did a New Years Day swim. Just put my trainer and a coat over wetsuit and walked home.

I think I might be the only one D2 and I won’t be unless I can find a decent second hand wetsuit.

I am not getting a wet suit.. I am loving run/swim and I also find neoprin hat gloves and socks do it for me

I dont like the idea of a full suit plus dont have any decent space to dry it out

I have a few people I swim with who are skins all the way

The great thing for me is during winter I can get my running in place and a quick dip be like iceing. Well that is my hope!!

Never say never!
