Xmas Day Swim - Lido

C.O.L.D ! We came, we signed the waiver, we swam, we got out and then went blue.

When competing in triathlons if the temperature of the water is 14°C or less then a wetsuit is compulsory as that is considered too cold. The water at the Lido on Christmas Day was 8°C and wearing a wetsuit here would be considered cheating, myself, Mark and Beano managed one width and then got out, it felt really weird getting out almost warm in the cold air with pins and needles all over the body. The mince pies supplied Debbie were very nice. Definitley worth trying once!
