Freeeeeeeeezing!

It was very windy.
It was bitterly cold.
It started snowing.
It was absolutely amazing!

A few months ago these ladies went for a taster session with me. The water temperature was about ten degrees warmer than it was today, they bobbed in and then got out. They have been back every week and are as addicted as I am.

The water was almost 5° and we were in for about ten minutes. They swore, yelped, grimaced, swam, laughed and loved it. We struggled getting dressed with numb fingers, but it was worth it. The snow started as we swam back to shore. I had to sit for a bit in the car before I could use my hands to drive and that is when the snow came down like a blizzard. As we drove down from the tops of the moors it became more like sleet.

This is our Christmas card to the women in our WI.
