I had done a couple of 5k swims and one 10k swim (very badly) in the summer of 2015 and found I was enjoying the open water swimming more than ever. I find the heat and chemicals in the swimming pool make me quite ill. So when a friend asked if I wanted to join her in training for Chillswim, I was happy to have a go. So on 13th October 2015 I did my first non wetsuit swim at 6.30am in the morning, in what felt to me was an icy cold river for the grand total of 10 minutes. A couple of weeks later when swimming in the sea I wondered why on earth I had ever worn a wetsuit! I am loving the not so warm swimming and for the first time in my life I am wishing the weather would get colder!
So now I am one of a group of 4 lovely fun ladies in South Wales who swim regularly together, we are loving it.
