Eynsham Red Feb 2018 6:58pm, 20 Feb 2018 2,563 posts	0 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 🐳

LazyDaisy Feb 2018 7:02pm, 20 Feb 2018 21,539 posts	0 LazyDaisy Currently I wish I could get rid of this damn cold and cough so I could actually go swimming. Tuesdays should be swimming days in my world
57.5 Degrees of Pain Feb 2018 7:32pm, 20 Feb 2018 3,635 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain I'm not much of a swimmer. 2-3 lengths 2-3 times a year is my limit.
BanjoBax Feb 2018 7:41pm, 20 Feb 2018 4,424 posts	0 BanjoBax Many moons ago used to swim 2 or 3 times a week, 2 miles plus if rest day, 1 mile if lunch break from work. Now I'd be struggling to do 1 or 2 lengths.

Derby Tup Feb 2018 8:20pm, 20 Feb 2018 25,112 posts	0 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	0 LazyDaisy Open water swimming is fab. But only if the water temperature is in double figures
GlennR Feb 2018 8:49pm, 20 Feb 2018 33,863 posts	0 GlennR Flatlander, I often react to pool water too, but had no ill-effects after a recent session at Bottisham. I was in there for two hours as well.
