← Hever Castle - Swim Series
This Saturday I took part in my first open water swim. In fact I've only ever swum 1.2km in a pool and I can only do breaststroke. What could go wrong?
But this event was perfect for me. The lake was as cold as I had expected and was shallow enough in some places to put my feet down if I got tired. I have a wetsuit although it was only a cheap one it did the job. The only thing I found difficult was getting out of the water after the swim! Legs like jelly.
A friendly, well organised event. I loved every minute of it. Will definitely be trying to improve my stroke and taking part in more open water events in the future.
Would definitely recommend.
