Water temp: 4 degrees
Friday afternoon fun at the Men's Pond. A spectacular sunny morning has given in to grey skies. I walk the length of the jetty with loud encouragement from Dan The Lifeguard. I walk quickly back in the direction in which I came. I puff up my chest, sprint down the jetty landing feet first in the water. As I surface from my icy plunge my loud gasp scatters the gathering of gulls. I feel acclimatised again, at one. It's The Swimmer again tomorrow, what fun.
