Eynsham Red Feb 2018 6:58pm, 20 Feb 2018 2,563 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red I managed about a mile swim over four days in the sea at Southwold last summer. I’m not a great swimmer, and dislike slimming pools so the rare occasions that I do swim are salty affairs 🐳

Derby Tup Feb 2018 8:20pm, 20 Feb 2018 25,112 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup Swimming in a pool is so monotonous it’s not true. Swimming in the sea is so much better (on holiday, if it’s not cold, in my case)
LazyDaisy Feb 2018 8:40pm, 20 Feb 2018 21,541 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy Open water swimming is fab. But only if the water temperature is in double figures
