Water temp: 15 degrees
Bank holiday Monday morning swim. Sun is shining, I sit on my favourite bench for half an hour to soak it all in. There are lots of people here this morning.
That crazy person inside me is urging me to swim an inaugural Lido mile. It's been done at 15 degrees before so therefore it can be done again. After 10 lengths I feel cold and lethargic, my crappy goggles are leaking. At 15 lengths I'm thinking that's one for every degree which could be enough. At 20, ignore the cold and go on for 27. Job done.
Picked up a form for a season ticket. Happy days.
