Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Still swimming and have decided to reopen and extend my challenge.  I now dive straight into the water. To be fair, the mild winter has helped and so far I have not needed my neoprene boots or gloves.  Bikini swim on Xmas and Boxing Day - the sea is MUCH warmer than the pond.

In my earlier challenge to myself I swam all through last winter, and then continued through summer and am again swimming through the winter. extending my range by diving straight into the pond, and also swimming in rivers, lakes and sea wherever I can - in 2015 I swam in a number of rivers including the Thames, Ouse, Wye, Usk, and the Cam, in a delightful fairy waterfall and various beaches on the Isle of Man, Cornwall, and in warmer waters abroad.
