She did proper front crawl and bilateral breathing, I was impressed by her commitment!

This reminds me of the long-ago panic about BSE, and John Selwyn-Gummer as he then was, feeding a beefburger to his daughter. Risky!

At least she took the risk herself! Imagine if she'd forced a small child into the river

I really hope the swimming goes ahead but i can't help but think of all the beautiful French lakes i've seen recently on various swim groups, all clear as a bell and pure. I'd hope they'd have an alternative venue in mind .

Well, I’ve moved to just outside Elgin and so I cycled to Roseisle today for a swim. Bliss. Sunshine, quiet roads, forest trails and fine sand. Went to take a pic but remembered I’d not got my phone on me. The wispy clouds were beautiful. Roseisle’s shallow for a fair way out and I just swam parallel to the shore. Cozzy under my cycling gear and then cycling gear over damp cozzy for ride home. Dry within about 5 mins of cycling. I’ve got a feeling there’s a Roseisle swimming group, so will ask around.
