As the evenings get longer and brighter, seasonal sea swimmers come back out, is there many here who go - vico, 40ft, bullock harbour etc coming into the summer evenings

The feeling is unmatched, would be good if a social meet happened out of a sea swim could be ideal

This is my first year swimming in the sea right through the winter and I have to say there's nothing like it!

Fair play, I always try to do this but find if you miss a few days when it starts to get colder it hard to get back into it.

I love my dips in the ocean. Bit choppy today and chilly. But always worth it.

I try & get out once a week anyway all year round.. it can be tough to face some days but always worth it..but especially if your not used to it, please focus on your breath.. when u catch ur breath focus on your out breath being longer than your inbreath. This will help slow your heart rate as your body goes into shock & releases cortisol fron the cold.. I lost someone close a few years ago from cold water shock.. so please be careful..

I'm a summer-time lake dipper. I do love swimming outdoors but the waves and currents in the sea freak me out as I wouldn't be a strong swimmer.

I'd be a bit like that, rarely go out of my depth and never go in when noone around. To dangerous
