Thoughts about swimming

It was the Open Water Swimming session at the Kendal Mountain Festival this morning, and it was very entertaining. There were 6 short films and talks about swimming of all sorts - ridiculous distances, ridiculous temperatures, swimming to improve mental health, swimming for companionship...(coffee and jelly babies were also mentioned).
It was a lovely day, so I went out later to Gurnal Dubs - see extra (but I didn't swim).
