For the second summer my body loves the fact it can swim longer and also easily double dip. But I dont half miss the cold!

FRU (KeepTheFaith) Jul 2022 7:06am, 12 Jul 2022 12,903 posts	0 FRU (KeepTheFaith) LindsD there is something truly unique about a winter swim. I still can’t work out if it is the positive impact of the cold or the feeling of doing something you didn’t think was possible Lizzie Lido brrrrrrr I’ve chickened out of our local one this year so far!

LazyDaisy Jul 2022 7:42am, 12 Jul 2022 36,307 posts	0 LazyDaisy I'm hoping to get through the winter this year. I've made it to January in the past but gave up because a 40 minute drive to the lake for a 10 minute dip didn't seem sensible. But now I just have a 5 minute walk to the sea and a group of swim buddies who do go in all year round, I have no excuses!
