My favourite physical activity is sea swimming. I do it year round and the sea temperature today is 12 degrees.

What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?

I do not consider myself a               ‘hardened’ sort of person. 12 degrees is about the mid-point of swimming in Plymouth.

The Bobbers, my swimming group have dipped in water at 7.8 but I don’t think the water has ever gone above 16 degrees in the three years we have been swimming regularly. If I were to ask the internet about swimming  in 16 degree water the advice would still be that it is not advised. We do just fine doing something many people would recoil from.
