Brrrrr!

Splendid video from Guardian travel writer Alastair Sawday, on crazy all weather sea swimmers in Penzance, spotted it yesterday when it was posted on The Swimmer as Hero group blog, so why not check it out there.

This video almost makes you want to try it because it looks really fun...well almost.

More than Cuckoo Clocks

The Urban Swimmer is no longer convinced about Harry Lime's take on the Swiss. Found this excellent article is the Guardian on Urban Swimming in Switzerland. What a thoroughly civilised lot they seem.

Warning, this will make long for Summer.

Also came across this on the BBC about swimming in Berne's Aar River.
