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!

Thanks for all the advice! I'll start with the suggestions requiring least financial outlay and work up! ;-) Rest day from swimming today but I took the kayak out to recce an open water route. The sea's up to 14 degrees now. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and start swimming in skins again

I swam 1.3km upstream on the River Ouse today & back again. 20°C in the water. It was lovely.

Wow! 20* sounds lovely.

I’ve been on holiday this week with a friend who also likes to swim. We had 3 skins dips. Loch Earn was freezing so it really was a dip. Loch Lubnaig was absolutely lovely. We also found an amazing pool on a river that was amazing.

Morning all, couldn't pick a better week off lots of exploring swimming ahead.

Am wondering /looking for recommendations about watches ?
Something that's covers the sea and pool covering distance and time primarily

Thanks
