Early morning swim time at Clifton.

Safety first, bright tow float containing car keys, keep us visible in the ocean. Hugging the coastline a must in misty conditions.

Trusty used to dress in the car park before sipping on a hot drink.

Show Up!

Grab your and head out into the exciting world of openwater swimming. Destinations are plentiful, fellow swimmers are too, a growing sport.

Somehow this " adventure" sport glues people together. When gathering pre swim or after, all we talk about is swimming. A shared passion of conquering limits. Simple eye contact in the water gives one that feeling being safe.

Today my tow float housed my Button Wear robe, so that when I reached the end of the swim I could simply pull it out and slip it on. A shield against the elements as I walked back to my accommodation. Self reliant.
