Brockwell Lido with a wetsuit this morning. We're all taking part in the UK's first organised night swim this weekend. It'll be good training for swimming in the dark. We've a picked a Channel swim window in July to make sure we get as much daylight as possible, but it's still possible that we'll be starting or finishing in the dark. We'll be swimming with light sticks attached to our goggles, and the swim is practice for navigating in the dark.
Normally the lido staff write the temperature of the water on a whiteboard. Not this morning though. Maybe they thought it would frighten people off if they knew just how cold the water was. At home, we've finally put the heating on, and we have to switch the lights on when we get up in the morning.
Expected water temperature for this weekend's night swim is 14-16 degrees!
