So good to read this. I wondered where you had gone!
Love the sound of all your various sorts of swimming. Also I don't have to be envious anymore as I finally got back in the water today after medical clearance! Thought the temp was about 11 but I was in a wetsuit. The air temp was 17. Amazing.
Heaven but cold. Hated wearing the wetsuit. Will try with just wetsuit top next time. Do you find that you float too high (if that makes sense) with a wetsuit?
I am definitely more buoyant in a wetsuit! Perhaps oddly, I wear a wetsuit in summer for longer swims, so the buoyancy comes in handy. I think you did the right thing starting in a wetsuit for your first swim back.
Ooh la la - those temps! But pretty regardless! The ocean in Sydney is 17 degs right now! Still if I was there I’d take a dip with you! Well done 🙌
Thank you, and likewise! I’d love to swim in Sydney. Hopefully soon…

Oh that's great news, Prue! I'll bet it felt wonderful.
