Notes
First sea swim in years. My wetsuit was a kind of green colour when I took it down from the attic but other than that it was fine. went with Denis after work. Wetsuit a bit of a tight fit :( but squeezed in ok. Water ok but took hands and especially feet a while to warm up. Swam with the current to a yellow buoy about 250m away. Hard to judge distances but seemed around that length. Took a break as was wrecked, even dizzy. Head was really suffering in the cold. After a break we swam back to our starting point in two stages as we were against the current. Still struggling a bit but getting better. Took good breaks at every point. Once back at the start we did exactly the same again but it was far easier the 2nd time. No real problems either way. Felt ok but definitely need a few more open sea swims. Swam a bit more when we got back and then headed off. Good first swim - heaps of room for improvement so looking forward to the next swim :)
