I've been after a new cozzy for ages. Don't like any designs I've seen. Lots of people at the lake have the Batoko ones.

I want practical and stylish and colourful. Used to be easy, but swimwear's so drab now.

I’m currently waiting on a Batoko lobster costume.
It's a shame the pattern is the colour of boiled lobsters, not living!

If you want bright and colourful, Funkita is the way to go! :-)

Have booked my Lido swim for Wednesday morning. The temperature was down to 7* last week and we're forecast minus temperatures each night this week. Remind me again why I'm doing this ? :-) (Because I've signed up to a challenge and there's a medal at stake, that's why.)

1st December dip done. Was excellent but I'm not sure how I'm going to survive the winter. The pool was 7.1 degrees. 🥶

I feel quite pleased for sticking this out for nearly 8 minutes but I'd be glad for it not to drop too much more ;-)

There didn't seem to be a thread devoted to open water swimming, so I thought I'd start one.
