Early morning swim in Clacton
This is a picture of where we swam in Clacton. The lines are not meteors, or driving rain, but the wind and come from the excellent Windfinder website, which is how I know what the conditions will be before I arrive.

4.8 degrees - cold but not the coldest
Coldest sea temperature of this winter but a reasonable swim in what was a pretty grey day…




Happy New Year!
First 500m of month three, followed by an award winning chocolate truffle…


Temperature rise and 750m
A surprising rise in sea temperature to a tropical 8 degrees, results in the longer 750m swim…






Perfect day to nail 3000m!
Great conditions combined with feeling really good resulted in a 750m swim in 6.2 degrees, bringing up the 3000m target for December…

A big thank you to Brightlingsea Arts & Crafts

Brutal, but beautiful
An amazing sunrise, low tide, wonderful support and a brutal sea temperature…

Just me and my new mascot!
A cold foggy afternoon swim with just me lovely new mascot for company…

Amazing support for me and Sagaradevi
Great swim with Sagaradevi and fantastic support from the Winterfest crew!

Coldest 30th Nov in over 16 years
November comes to a bright but cold end with 7,100m completed.
