In contrast Wycombe lido (heated) was heaving this week, may give it a miss until Sept, they've increased the numbers allowed in. Hoping for some sea swimming in Felixstowe later in August.

That’s another thing I love about open water swimming is being out and about and in stunning light esp early morning. It’s like a whole new world! Watching a fresh and bright new day come alive Our temps are good here right now into 18/19/20 and both river and sea warming up. However they are too warm in part! Lol Seems “it’s like a bath” is our summer saying with no F! I wonder when our winter “It’s F freezing” starts up again?! I’m creating a years calendar of notes and observations. I’m almost round the clock of 12 months seriously in the water. It has been a fascinating journey July I note warmness. Also jelly fish in our seas and in the river it’s duck mite bite time. Neither of these are there in the ffreezing months I am curious to see how I cope in the Lakes and cant wait to step into the cold waters of Coniston again
