Swimming

This coming weekend is the October long weekend, which also happens to be the traditional time for the first post-winter swim in the ocean.

In previous years, we've been sensible and organised to be somewhere up the north coast on this weekend, since the water appears to be a few degrees warmer 500km up the coast. Unfortunately, the first dip this year will be at the normal spot - Bondi - and the temperature gauge looks like it won't be interested in getting over 21 (that's air temp, not water temp).

I hate to think what the water temp will be like.

I have got all week to think about it - just so that I will really be really dreading it at 7am on Saturday morning.
