Paul of Brighton Swimming Club. If you want to know the difference between a hardcore winter swimmer and run of the mil winter swimmer the hardcore don't wear neoprene shoes, gloves and hats! I wear gloves and hat, with out gloves once you get out you can no longer use your hands even for simple tasks. #snow #wildswimming #brighton #pier #brightonpier #snow #swimmer

The only thing that would complete this image is a murmuration of starlings above the pier 😉. Note the icicles on the pier. Swimmer is @adamsage13 of Brighton Swimming Club. Got so many good shots of the swimmers, I was on the beach at 6:30am and shot various groups of swimmers, I finally had my swim at 8:05am. #snow #wildswimming #brighton #pier #brightonpier #snow #tattoo #tattoos #swimmer

Meant to be one of the coldest days of the year today across the UK. This is madness but it was so worth it at #wildswimming #hampsteadheath #brrrr / joined by @d_rudd and 📸by @brad_hobbs

Capturing my very quick dip in Lake Ullswater this morning...air temp was 1 degrees & there was frost on the ground. I think I actually went into shock briefly upon entering the water & I wasn’t able to speak due to my face going numb. Needless to say,I wasn’t in very long! ❄️🏔🏊🏼‍♀️ @anotherplacehotels #wildswimming #lakedistrict

Double dip February day with blue skies and a big surf in Cornwall it probably comes as no surprise to anyone that I was the only fool swimming and no wetsuit of course. Give it a couple of days and I might warm up! #widemouthbay #wildswimming #february #cornwall

Great to be back in the water today after a week of being dry! Such beautiful wintery swim, the Thames is frozen at #Maidenhead but still warmer in than out. #snowswim #jubileeriver . . #mentalhealthwarrior #swimforhealth #findtheothers #openwaterswimming #openwater #outdoorswimmingsociety #outdoorswimming #wildswimming #wildswim #naturelover #coldwaterswim #swimmingwoman #swimmer #therapy #365daysofselfcare #wonderfulwildwomen #iceswim #coldwaterswimming #womeninadventure #liveauthentic #chooseoutside #outdoorwomen #dowhatyoulove #sharetheswimlove #getoutside #womenwhoexplore #thamesmermaid
