Cold Outdoor Swimming

Snowy freaking cold wednesday but well what can we say, we just love it. Apparently it's women Day today so what a good Day to prove ourselves. And got good Mac and cheese for lunch, just what we're needed, a good cheesy meal.

6:30 whatttt so early, but I tell you it's worth it !!

All day in the library, no whatttt, couldn't be a plan and not productive as if we do some swim breaks. What about that I tell you it's more effective and healthy. Try it, your mind will be freshly better afterward!

Break in the beautiful city of Edinburg, to the seaside by Portobello neighborhood. The Spring weather were uncertain and the sun was very spontaneous in between stormy clouds and pouring Rain. That makes the moment unique and magical. Speaking right at the top of Arthur Seat with a nice view of the sea and of course the beautiful city with its old buildings.

Throughout history Woodmill has been important for many industries, including fishing, milling, manufacturing and transport, all linked to the importance of water. From the days of Saxon Southampton, the River Itchen was a vital source of food and power to local people, and a major artery of transport and commerce in Hampshire. By the 18th century, barges on the Itchen Navigation were carrying bulk goods inland from Southampton's busy docks significantly more cheaply than was possible on the muddy, rutted roads of the day. Probably the most dramatic part of Woodmill’s story is the role it played as a factory during the period of the Napoleonic Wars!!

Noisy Pub chat sorry for your ears haha you will be transported for sure in the atmosphere of the pub ;) We enjoyed our seafood with some well cooked crispy shrimp mmmm

Past few weeks dips. We headed to Hengistbury, past Christchurch, windy dip in front of the Isle of Wight. And Thursday morning was a quick Winchester river swim & coffee before lectures:) 

Unfortunately we didn’t see dinosaurs but the beautiful Arch Durdle Door. Sea swim day with my friends Hiro, Dion & Joanne. A natural Limestone Arch in Lulworth, Dorset, accompanied by an exceptionally scenic beach with excellent quality bathing water recommended by the Marine Conservation Society.

A big welcome back to Southampton, south Britain’! Came today with Oliver and Elliot, friends from Uni. Feels like their rediscover their study city. Got a good time, after going to the pub warming up ourselves ;)

It’s a see you later Sweden, I’ll be back for sure !

Today I just don’t want to go into the cold. Dont’ make myself force, just chill. Whenever I feel like. It will get me even more motivated next time. Such as for my lifetime Helsinki experience at the Sea Pool.

In this third episode you’ll get the insight of a french newbie into the frozen lake in Hellasgården. A week ago the cold temperatures of Stockholm were about -10degrees. Enough for a frozen picture with a little hole by the ladder.

In this episode you’ll get our fresh pre&post cold swimming reactions… Louise shares a bit on her experience about cold swimming and the positive aspects of it :)

Welcome to the first freezed episode. The beginning of an exciting cold journey :)
