I scoffed on Sabbatum when the lake opened. March seemed nearly unfeasible for the opened upwardly H2O flavor to start together with every bit much every bit I wanted to, mutual feel prevailed together with I stayed warm together with toasty inwards bed instead.
However, a non bad (and bonkers) Nicky Yevko said she wanted to larn together with exam the H2O together with if she was going inwards damnit, I’d last going inwards too. I tried to convince a few to a greater extent than of the girls but solely ii of the most hardcore could last tempted. The 4 of us, it seems, were the solely 4 people mad plenty to brand the midweek trip to Ellingham lake for a refreshing 14°C dip.
Surprisingly – together with I’m non fifty-fifty pretending to last brave – it really wasn’t every bit bad every bit whatever of us expected. Having chosen to larn the whole squealer alongside every extremity covered inwards neoprene, I fared rattling good indeed. The fairly chunky gloves provided non only additional warmth, but a lilliputian fleck of added resistance likewise for a bonus forcefulness workout!

I transformed from an awesome early on morning time lake swimming neoprene ninja to a shivering fumbling lunatic inwards the infinite of only of a few minutes.
After nearly falling over several times whilst trying to pare off neoprene socks alongside barely surgery fingers, I tottered inwards an unstable mode at in 1 lawsuit to the hot shower to warm up.
