15 degrees? Is it heated or do you live in Spain? That's a respectable summer temperature round here!

D2metres apart airhug for Christmas
jda......... its spa water, comes straight out of the ground and into the pool at one end and out the other! Lovely, no chlorine just a nice clean Olympic sized pool. In fact you can feel it warmer at the end it comes in!! It also feeds the local petrifying well so not sensible to stay in too long.

It was 9.2 in the sea last week for me . I was down this morning but it was too rough for any decent swim. I'll look tomorrow before i run. I'm only in once a week just now unless i finish early and conditions are ok. I'm using a wetsuit but still do the odd dip skins but its not for long.

I do feel in awe of all of you who are much better swimmers and much more experience, for me it is a total and valuable freedom. Cant quite understand it yet
