We dried off quickly and then hot-footed it to the pub. Tempted to go down again today. I think that makes six swims at WW this year plus one (in wetsuits) in Cornwall in May. In the June heatwave we viewed a house with a (unheated) swimming pool. I love sea swimming and the boring repetitive ploughing back and forth in a pool but wouldn't want one in my garden. Does Bok swim in your pool?
