The Scribbler Jul 2019 9:50am, 22 Jul 2019 4,425 posts	0 The Scribbler Another lovely swim in the sea on Saturday morning with the outdoor swimmers. Well I say swim, but it was more floating with intent I really haven't done enough swimming this year to test myself, so it's nice just to be comfortable in the water
LazyDaisy Jul 2019 9:46pm, 23 Jul 2019 27,339 posts	0 LazyDaisy My swim in the lake was very pleasant this morning, but there's very sad news this afternoon. A man went into the water after his dog (no idea why he needed to do that) and his body has just been found. He was not a member of the swimming section but just someone walking his dog on the lakeside path, I believe. The water really isn't cold or deep where he went in so what happened, I have no idea. Very sad. On a kind of related point, did anyone see the BBC Breakfast items about the new swimming lake in Lewisham yesterday? While I obviously agree that open water swimming is great, I thought they were remiss in not emphasising the safety precautions you should take , and the possibility of cold water shock (not in any of the pieces I saw anyway.)
