Boxing Day Swim - Part 2
 

The whistle blew, and there was a mad dash to the sea. At this point I removed my coat, vest and sandshoes, then took a slow walk. I like to be contrary. I didn’t really notice the cold water on my bare feet or shins, but then a wave hit my thighs - it was really cold. Considering there was no wind the sea was considerably rough. It wasn’t long before a wave crashed over my head. I was really glad to be wearing my swim goggles, as I surely would have lost my contact lenses. The worst bit was swallowing sea water, it was horrible! My body was starting to tingle. I managed to swim a few strokes of front crawl, but it was a real battle against the waves. After a couple of minutes, I felt my time was up. Strangely, my upper body didn’t feel the cold – it was my thighs which really felt it. Just before I reached the shore another wave hit me and knocked me on my back.

Back at the Surf shop I stated to dress. There were no changing facilities, and I just couldn’t put my underwear on, so I left them under my tracksuit. As soon as I got back into the car I felt warm. I didn’t expect that – I thought I would have been chilled for some time. My wife asked me if I felt cold with my wet swimwear on. I didn’t because there wasn’t much to wear. Ah, the advantage of swim briefs…….

Not a Speedo in sight, so obviously I wasn't included...

Oh my God!!!

You look good in that little black suit - you stud!

Quite weird wearing Speedos on a beach in England during Winter - I never even do that while abroad on holiday! I think now though, that I will have the confidence to do so.

I've had sex on the brain since that day. Think it's because I went out in my Speedos, surrounded by fully clothed people. Yet, nudity's not the same as sexuality, is it?

I felt a little under-dressed for the occasion. Though if I do it next time, I may actually wear something briefer.

Bede. From the video and first pick I though you had on a kiniki micro bikini which is what I have. I've thought about doing that swim up here but ey cancelled it this year because of safety concerns. Weather has been quite bad up here in Scotland

I'm not that daring! It is the brief Aronik suit. I do though, have a couple of Hom suits, with 1.5 inch sides, which is the briefest I'm prepared to go.

I don't know that one however I also have a couple of Hom suits though the black one seems briefer and neater fitting than the yellow. The kiniki is only 1 inch; you should try it:)
