Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Still no sign of a swim for me as can’t travel to England and my local place is still closed. 😞

I am, however, going to try my wetsuit on. Finger crossed everyone that it doesn’t look like something my Mum bought me to ‘grow into’

I know I'm very lucky, spa water so no chemicals and should be about 15 degrees tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes! ;)

Wetsuit update - It still fits!! Phew!

It’s not really stretched and a little roomy in a couple of spots. It’s a good enough fit to still do it’s job though!!!
Relieved because at best part of £400 I’d have been gutted if it was too big
