  • Loch Lubnaig proved a fantastic place for a dook or dip when everywhere else was raging torrents and floods. The Wild West Swimmers showed me their regular spot and Veronica shared her tea with me afterwards - what an angel!

      It was a peach of a swim and the group made me feel so welcome. I can't wait to go back and see it in clearer weather so I can take in the beautiful backdrop.

    Been binge watching your channel to get as much info as I can. Found a group near me the west Lothian dippers and they are really supportive. Stirling is not far from me so when we are allowed to drive to the next county I will definitely be going to that Loch X heading to your Amazon page now to get some kit. Just trying to figure out of it's best to swim now for the first time or wait till March as it starts to warm up

      Hi Alice, the water is at its coldest in Feb/March, so there won't be a great deal of difference. Whenever you go in it will feel extremely cold. Just don't go in for more than a couple of minutes the first few times. Let me know how you get on 🏊😃

      I live in Canada and I usually swim in Lake Ontario (dip at this time of the year 😉)

    • @EverydayAthleteRach
      @EverydayAthleteRach  4 роки тому +1

      I bet that is just dipping at this time of year. Similar here to be honest just now. Can't wait to be able to do some longer time in the water, I like to use outdoor swimming for fitness too.
