anyone else do there new years swim???

[skyhuck]

I trust there were some young Lady's you were trying to impress.

 

I swam in Coniston in December when I was about 17, but that was because there were some lasses with us who said I wouldn't.

I swam in Ullswater in November when I was 17. Had no choice....Outward Bound course.

I think I'd rather fail the course!!! Well done mate, There is no way I'd do that!! Especially if there were young ladies about!! Think of the Temperature!!! Ha ha!!!

When i was younger 3 of us jumped in to a lake in the Swiss Alps

It was that cold we went a blue/reddish colour and we felt that certain parts had fallen off

Well done I would not go back in a second time

funny that i entered 2010 in the sea, minus all my clothes, seemed like a good idea at the time but definitly didnt impress the ladies on the way out! your mad doing it sober though . . .

A fair while back, when I was young, free, and single, me and a mate got off with a couple of girls down at St. Ives. It was November but a lovely sunny day and we wanted to persuade them to go for a dip with us. I gave a lovely spiel about the effects of the Gulf Stream on the Cornish coast, and the fact that it would be warmer in than out, but they remained unconvinced until I'd agreed to go in first.

I stripped off and ran in to the sea in as macho a way as I thought possible. All went well until I hit what we call the ''Oh-Zone'', which I'll leave you to work out exactly where on the male body that is! Jeez, my scream could probably be heard in Penzance! Needless to say, any vestiges of ''cool'' shrank away as fast as my 'tackle', and a button mushroom wasn't going to impress anyone.

And in answer to your other question - no, I didn't. Nor did me mate...
