Another glorious swim at the bulb; deliciously cold water, sunny skies, and fabulous company.

Colleen was back with us today. Two weeks ago she went for her daily, morning swim and then headed right into shoulder surgery. She was told she had to stay out of the water for two weeks and bang on two weeks later, she’s back.

Her dedication is truly inspiring. She brought a raft to float on while kicking, but by the end, she’d ditched the raft and was doing a one-armed crawl. 

My Salty Sea Sisters also gave me a final birthday present this morning–my very own dry robe! So sweet Sometimes it’s hard to say what the best part of swimming is: communing with nature, the exhilaration of cold water, or the friendship.
