Swimming

    The sea temperature was 18.7°C.

    As I haven’t posted any of these for a time, I added in this morning’s lovely start. We seem to be in the midst of jellyfish season, so there is no way I’m going near the sea.

    There was a crazy thermocline in the pool making the water very blurry with very distinct warm and cold zones. It made the first few lengths more of a play than a swim 😊

    This weeks swim was a bit different. We decided to do a swim around the Rousse area so we went from the slip to Secret Beach and back. 1250m total.

    The sea temperature was 17.5°C.

    The sea was flat calm and low this morning. A summery stillness in the air. Perfect for a swift 1100m.

    The sea temperature was 17.2°C.

    We did about 1000m in the chop today. The weather went a bit grey when we got out. The sea temperature was 16.6°C.

    It’s not often I get out at lunch for a swim, but with the stifling air in the office, it was hard to say no today. We popped down to Rousse and did a few laps by the slip. I would have stayed in all day if I could.

    We celebrated the summer solstice with a swim at sunrise. The skies were clear and the sea flat calm. Other than a 4:15 alarm, this was a great start to the day.

    The sea temperature was 15.9°C

    Another day, another swim! The tide was high, and the thunder had stopped. Went in for a 1200m swim. The water is warm now, but I suspect it will cool down quickly over the autumn.
