This is all thanks to Pianism's get togethers. We all met at Sale for a run (May?) and I'd forgotten what a nice place it is to spend an afternoon. So, the next day I and my non-running beloved go for a walk. And we see swimmers in the lake. Cold,I thought, but it looks like fun. At a Parkrun later there was talk of open water swimming and, importantly for me, the availability of wetsuits. After much dithering I finally made it there yesterday. Without a wetsuit and I am now hooked on open water swimming. I swam 500m yesterday and plan to swim 1500 before the season ends. With or without a wetsuit.

Wow sounds great. I love swimming haven’t tried a lake but go in the sea
We're a bit landlocked here in Manchester. I used to live near the sea and miss being there but when I tried dipping a toe in chickened out.

Oh, good lord! I can't be held responsible for open-water swimmers! Haha
How fantastic. Doesn't appeal to me either though I do love swimming (I like clean water where I can see what's beneath me).
