Amazing first day at the Memphremagog Winter Swim Festival. Beautiful day, great swimming, and great people! Swam the 200m and 50m Free. Looking forward to more swimming tomorrow!
It’s been an emotional week. Sadly we lost Julie Harvey this Wednesday, peacefully to a brain tumour @stpetershospice. After a brave two year battle with cancer we came together to remember her as the swimmer, cyclist 🚴♀️, triathlete and outgoing person she was. ❤️

Today her family and some friends took a brave dip in Cromhall Quarry. The sun ☀️shone as we were freezing 🥶 our bits off in the 5 degree temperature water. Members of @northbristoltriathlonclub kindly joined us for cake 🍰 (thanks Liz!) and tea to remember Julie. **
Today will kick start a year of fundraising in Julie’s memory. ❤️
Watch this space for more info on our fundraising efforts... 🚴♀️🥇🏊♀️💪🏻

Underwater selfie. Nice and clear water, 5 C degrees. My Lumix is not exactly the most sophisticated of cameras, but being able to take photos underwater at all allows for playing around. Even though I like the slowbreathing meditative swims I have in the cold water, I also like to experiment and play and have some fun in the water. Here, I am testing having the camera on an extention rod and using self-timer. Most of the photos are rubbish, but some (very few) turn out okey. Good enough for me and my purpose, anyway.
Youngest’s request today for a cold water swim after a morning run up Snowdon. Lovely small llyn just outside Rhyd-Ddu. Grey skies, but with the suits on it wasn’t cold. Quick swim out to the island and then back to change in the derelict houses nearby, which were perfect changing rooms. Finished off with a pint in the pub. Another lovely day in Wales for the memories bank. #snowdonia#wildswimming#coldwaterswimming#outdoorswimming#outdoorswimmingsociety#adventureswithkids
Half term sunshine swim with my brave boy. Its hard to believe this was iced over a few weeks ago apart from the water still being flipping freezing. On the way up to the dam the search and rescue team were were carrying a woman down the hill on a stretcher. The path is so muddy and slippy. Hope she’s ok. #brave#coolkids#getoutside#coldwaterswimming#love#sun#springiscoming#freshair#wildswimming#holidays
@iceman_hof action in the forest 😍 big up to @wildcampingni for the great Forest Walk event this morning - a privilege to have been asked to bookend the walk with a little breathwork session get everyone on the same frequency before we began, and wrap it up with a dip in the sea to have another big shared experience either side of Stacey’s guided walk through #Crawfordsburn using different mindfulness techniques, doing a little foraging and learning what’s good (and not good 🍄) to eat from the wild, and generally have a laugh and good craic, especially over teas and coffees and the end. Massive thanks to everyone attending including a healthy contingent of Team Dash & Splash, good job in helping me convert a few others to join in on a Sunday 😃 #NotACult - speaking of which, I’ll see many of the same faces and a whole load more tomorrow at 11.30am beginning @pickiefunpark for a 30min walk/jog/run, jump in the sea, and warm up together again in the café. Already looking forward to it, hope you see you there! 🏃🏻♂️🌊😍

Such a magical, mystical, misty morning at the Lido. Most mental thing about all this mentalness is that I now find 8.6 degrees warm and disappointing against 3.2 degrees that delivered such a sense of achievement. Back up to half a mile though! #coldwaterswimming#lidolovers#brockwelllido@brockwellswim 🏊♀️🌫❄
