I'm going lake swimming this morning. Time to crack out the wetsuit....

@BeckyWhinnerah I went river swimming yesterday and the jump-down in temp from last week was really noticeable
@BeckyWhinnerah oh no wetsuits are SO pricey 😓
I'm just a dipper (max 20min this time of year) as I can't bear wetsuits
@JoBrownWorker @BeckyWhinnerah From my Ukrainian guests I heard the word for you cold water swimmers is mopx prounced like morzh and when we looked up the English translation it means walrus !
@loiscameron @JoBrownWorker 🤣 genius! I certainly feel like a walrus or elephant seal when I'm struggling to get out of the water without falling over!
@JoBrownWorker it was blummin cold and my wetsuit is too restrictive. I think I might have to stop unless I can find a less rigid wetsuit. Financially just can't justify that at the moment 😟
