February 2024

Welcome to the subscribers only content.

Thank you for signing up to my newsletter. Every month I will provide a selection of content not available elsewhere on my site.
Some of this will be outtakes, amusing extras and stuff I’m not wild about sharing with everyone! Here is February’s offering….

The big news in February was the completion of 10,000 metres. This is the first time I’ve managed this during a single winter month. I was delighted to do this in February as it is, of course, the month of Winterfest activities. So most times I swam I felt like I was doing my bit to be part of such an extraordinary collective effort to banish the winter blues and provide people with something to smile about.

On the subject of making people smile, here’s an exclusive photo for subscribers. My first swim in February was on 6th and was accompanied by a strong 20mph wind. When I got out of the water I thought I had ripped my trunks as they were flapping about in the wind. Then I realised, I had done the whole swim with my trunks inside out!

Whoops! Just when I thought my problems dressing myself were in the past! :)
