Taking a Dip

I occasionally go for a swim when conditions permit, and yesterday was another opportunity, the third this summer. The first was near Emily and Greg's apartment in Santa Clara, which as a pool dedicated to residents and their guests. Both the outside and water temperatures there were warm - c. 30C. After a lovely splash at Madge Lake near Duck Mountain is Saskatchewan, where the outside temperature was a nice 30C, I tried the Plymouth Lido. Now, the weather was only 20C even though the sun was doing its best. But the water was about the same temperature as Madge Lake ... cold. Whereas the lake was freshwater, the Lido had salt water and was much more buoyant!





Brian did not come in, but acted as photographer for this important event. You have to say that I am discriminating in the spots I choose. Apart from the Armidale pool, where I accompany grand-son Max, the last three swimming events were at Broulee on the NSW South Coast, the Mediterranean and the Adriatic! I don't look like a cardiac patient do I?

Looks like you are enjoying yourself Dad! You definitely don't look like a cardiac patient - you're far too active.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I can't wait for Christmas to come and meet up with Ella again (and Max) at whatever venue you choose.
