Hi Friends - We will do our own, low-key polar plunge at noon on Wednesday, as usual, AT KLODE. (where else??)  The current forecast looks chilly/windy but also sunny.

Some of us decided to squeeze in a first and last December swim this morning.  Conditions were less than ideal, but for December, they were pretty good.

Fyn-Fin's triumphant exit from the water.

The power of the group compelled five of us to suit up and get in the water.  It did not, however, compel us to begin swimming right away.  

In case you haven't experienced Klode in a while, the water is so shallow that you can pretty much walk to any swimming destination you wish to visit.

And thus, the swimming to walking ratio this morning  was about 60-40.  Maybe 70-30.  Maybe 50-50.  Who knows.

Post-swim, happy to be warm(ish) and dry.

But we did eventually swim north to the sewer pipe, and Lt MJ and Fyn-Fyn went further. Badasses.  It was a slow start though.

It was probably a blessing that we didn't have a thermometer.  A quick search suggests that the water is in the mid 30's.  

See you Wednesday.  Brings treats.
