In two weeks time I'll be on holiday at home and will pick things up again. In the meantime, I have to say that I'd not be keen to swim in water that didn't look clean - goodness knows what you could catch :(Anna's Island Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997013627919505807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020891948274286259.post-18698867366526892572020-10-16T02:39:09.302+01:002020-10-16T02:39:09.302+01:00Hello lovely lady!

You are an inspiration with your sea swimming and I am glad you are working on bettering yourself with it. IF, oh IF, I had somewhere near me to swim, I would. I am not sure I trust the sea at Southend- very manky looking, also relies on public transport as CBC woudln't take me.<br />The float is a great idea though!Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020891948274286259.post-57588819893626849252020-10-09T17:35:21.632+01:002020-10-09T17:35:21.632+01:00So brave Anna, well done.

I love the sense of freedom and yes, connection with nature that sea swimming gives me. Do try it if you ever get the chance!Anna's Island Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997013627919505807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020891948274286259.post-38067032224390105532020-10-07T03:34:32.918+01:002020-10-07T03:34:32.918+01:00Last winter I did a whole lot of walking when I wa...Last winter I did a whole lot of walking when I was land bound and must admit that it did have very similar beneficial effects on my mood. I do wonder if we had orcas might I not be so keen on sea swimming either!<br /><br />Hope you're having a great week xAnna's Island Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997013627919505807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020891948274286259.post-68096149922947719172020-10-06T13:46:33.714+01:002020-10-06T13:46:33.714+01:00I’m impressed Anna.

I do love to swim, but always in a warm pool and never in the wild. I’d love to give it a try!<br />I really like the idea of the safety float, it’s certainly visible and, no chance now of you not being seen!<br /><br />Lovely honeymoon snap; great to look back on and reminisce.

I can totally imagine how it makes you feel like such a part of the planet, a land creature in the wild ocean. And giving it a bit of danger by being out in the wild rather than a pool. This definitely seems up my alley!

Look at you kids! <br /><br />Anna, I'm always so impressed that you swim "in the wild" of the ocean - I haven't swum in our ocean in decades - it's extremely cold and we have wild currents, so you have to be in a beach area. We also have orcas here, and I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a snack! However, I'm not much of a swimmer anyway, but I do get my intense walk on regularly, doing an 8K loop down at the waterfront. <br /><br />Glad you're being safe - you're right, you are barely visible at times. Your orange float is awesome! <br /><br />Have a good week, my dear! Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.com
