Overlooking the fabulous Brighton Beach with nephew-in-law, and yes we (Bob) did add some bubble bath. See how bright it was on Christmas Day.

I think there is a limit for a pool swimmer pete. I think that limit is probably 23 or so. Go under that, and it just feels nasty. I havent forgotten the dose of cold shock that 21 pool gave me.

I'm going to experiment in the morning. The temp at my usual lake is about 15C. I could manage that sans wetsuit in the sea but I want to see whether or not I can manage the lake at the same temp. I'll report back in the morning, providing I haven't drowned!

According to this morning's weather forecast, snow currently in the north east and north west will be heading to the midlands later today. Indeed, it has been snowing on and off since mid-morning in Rugby.

Really? That's warmed up a lot then since end-July when I was out there (it was 14*C then, apart from very shallow areas) English Channel is 17*C at the mo.

Possibly increase the amount of zinc in your diet? I think that's linked to cramps.

Thanks for the heads up Pete. It did feel different in comparison to our other cold water swims. Although its only a dunk at 3.9 not a proper swim so i am not sure how much it counts! This weekend we will be taking another visit but i reckon it will be in the 4-5 bracket. Since its turned winter weve not once been out of our depth, the effect it has on muscles is unbelivable! How do you find swimming with your teather?

Yes - a pair of wetsuit boots. I wear boots and gloves (but no wetsuit ) when swimming outdoors during winter.
My boots are Gul 5mm titanium lined and they are very good.

River Weaver, Frodsham, today: 8.7C (47.7F) according to the digital thermo, while my pool thermometer recorded 10C.
The river was high but much calmer and I managed a leisurely 150m or so.

New Year's Day is the Willis Cup Race for SLSC Members. Mulled wine for the finishers and many of us bring along mince pies and other snackable stuff.
The history of the cups is wonderful and the late Robert Willis is, again, one of the stalwarts of yesteryear. We have elders in the club lucky enough to have known, and even been trained by such greats, and they will talk the assembled ...
