Rosehip Mar 2021 10:51am, 26 Mar 2021 20,392 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip Thanks to Scribbler I now have a pretty wine coloured Dulsie that fits. I haven't booked a swim anywhere though, think Woburn first before braving Box End as I haven't swum for ages.
TheScribbler Mar 2021 11:26am, 26 Mar 2021 5,371 posts	Quote Pin TheScribbler Yay! I’m glad my product review was helpful with the Dulsie. I still have to try mine out. It may get worn under my wetsuit first. Wish I was close enough to try out some Fetchie swims.
