Friday 23 April 2021 Swimming goodness

Calm water. 19.1 degrees so very pleasant to swim in. Sun. Crisp autumn air. Loads of wised up people swimming. What a lovely morning.

Kylie and Hayley out in the swim

Getty ready, checking the temperature, looking at the conditions. None of this information changes your decision to get in but we check it every time

Bit of fish with swimmer above. The visibility was not great. What are the factors that lead to clarity?

And then the other swimmers go in their own order and time

Swimmer-blogger in disguise. Even though the power breather is not visible this is Anne

Danny and Roberto set off early and had a great swim judging by the smiles

Before and after

So many excellent early swimmers today

Making waves with kicking. The only waves today
