If I didn’t have a teenager in my spare room I could offer a bed in exchange for a swim buddy.

Swim group likes to meet on the beach at 5.30 am so they can get to work... it's very dark now. Waves were big too and crashing down on us... the a baby seal popped up and surfed the crest of the waves next to us. Worth getting up for 🤣

Slightly envious of your calm conditions 1step. We have full on galloping horses with flying manes here off the North East coast, which look spectacular but are a lot less fun to swim in.

I struggle to keep getting in the water over the winter because of the light and waves. The best time for me to dip is between 6-7am and that's going to be dark here soon.

Good luck with the polar bear challenge :-)

There didn't seem to be a thread devoted to open water swimming, so I thought I'd start one.
