Cornwall Day Seven

Nice weather again which is fortuitous. Lovely morning ,field shower and coffee and tea. Decided on a visit to Penzance  and the Lido.

Me swimming between two wetsuiters

So there you go.I swam in the cold water  in my swimsuit.The girl selling the tickets  said it was 16 degrees with the warmth of the sun.

I really couldn’t tell  what the temperature was.It always takes me about five minutes to get used to. My shoulders and back feel it most when I finally submerge . No dolphinesque diving for me.It was fine.Though I seem to be the only one in my family willing to do it.

I still feel the benefits this morning and slept really well..I also have a general lifting in mood.

The geothermal pool (body temp water)was full  people definitely prefer warm water. I think they are missing out on a lot of benefits.

The  first five minutes of” will I won’t I ‘are so funny By the time you finally submerge most of your body is numb anyway.

One word of warning ,the back of my left thigh began to cramp,so I kept near the handrail and within sight of the lifeguards.It recovered and I did my front crawl for a short time.I just don’t like the water on my face.Will need to practice that more.My breast stroke is pants as it feels like my left leg hangs back and it’s my shoulders doing all the work and I never move forward very far. Still I suppose it looks like I’m treading water.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading🙏
