  6. OMG – never ever could I do that – but in this week I’ve swum already 3 times in our small lake at temps of 21.7, 21.3 & 22.2°C after the first swim on Pentecost Monday took place in the heated (24°C) olympic pool because the lake only had 17.3°. And THAT was wahaaayyy too cold for this woman!
