Although the water temperature may be a little colder than you might like, there are several advantages of swimming in winter, including flat seas, good visibility and no bluebottles. Perhaps the biggest advantage is that you can also qualify for a winter badge by swimming a minimum of 20 times between 1st June and 31st August. You must also swim in at least 7 different weeks. If you manage to do all of your qualifying swims without a wetsuit (or other thermal enhancing equipment), you will also qualify for the coveted WWW badge (Winter without wetsuit). So start now, and don’t forget to log your swims to qualify. --------- Solstice Swim Saturday 23rd June @ 6.15 a.m. • One swim only (Not three) • Tassie MoFos also qualify for the 2018 badge |
