Open Water Swim - North Third reservoir. At the limit of both confidence and technique! Tempted into a lunchtime adventure by Janine and the intrepid SNH water babies. Surprisingly warm in the water once going. Janine looked like she was born in a wetsuit and flew off into the distance like a hydrofoil; I wallowed like a sinking Clyde puffer. Had to bail to the side three or four times to calm down, and had only one near panic when I almost got into some water weed.

I think that I'd quite enjoy this if I was a better swimmer. Being able to tread water would be a serious bonus, for example...
