#saturdaymorning #swimming #penguinswim #lakedistrictadventures #easterweekend #campervanadventures #cloudymorning #ullswater #bewarecrazypenguinlady 🐧 Today i was up early since we are campervaning at the edge of Ullswater a coffee ☕️ to wake up before a nice swim 🏊🏻♀️ in Ullswater lake, 8°C air temperature but felt colder because it was cloudy and windy 🌬️ because the sun hadn’t made an appearance, water was a chilly 🥶 6.9°C but I managed to knock off 644 metres of my #penguinantarticchallenge 🐧 now only 102 metres left to complete tried a bit of front crawl head under in preparation for some swims next weekend but only managed a couple of minutes 😂 talk about #brainfreeze 😂🥶 not sure how the mile will now go 😆 now onto #derwentwater and the #sunsout 😆 #penguinchallenge2024 #coldwatertherapy #wherethereiswateryouwillfindme #justkeepswimming #swimyourselfhappy #smiles #mermaid #watermyhappyplace #numbbodyandmind #swimmingthroughtheseasons #thisgirlcan #coldwaterimmersion #swimventure #personalchallenge #lifeisshort #livinglifesadventures

The sun was out and it wasn’t as windy as it’s been and the mother wanted to do something didn’t want to burn 🔥 myself out too soon doing miles in the pool 🏊🏻♀️ so decided to have a nice #openwaterswim 🏊🏻♀️ to get some penguin 🐧 metres in was a lovely 8.2°C water temp 🥶 and a windy 8°C so felt a lot cold 🥶 out of the sun ☀️ and managed to knock of a good 869 metres longest swim 🏊🏻♀️ during winter yet #gome now leaves 746 metres left to swim 🏊🏻♀️ before the end of next weekend #icandothis will be cutting it fine but I will get there #slowandsteadywinstherace #wherethereiswateryouwillfindme #justkeepswimming #swimyourselfhappy #smiles #mermaid #watermyhappyplace #numbbodyandmind #swimmingthroughtheseasons #bewarecrazypenguinlady #swimadventure #thisgirlcan #coldwaterimmersion #swimventure #personalchallenge
#saturdaymorning #saturdayvibes #funtimeswithfriends #wildswimming 🏊🏻♀️ #penguinanyantarticchallenge🐧 #winterchallenge #januarycomplete✔ #bewarecrazypenguinlady #iditityay😄 And if like that January is almost over and #thatsawrap🎬 #penguin🐧 challenge is complete, so glad a good friend pushed me to go and swim 🏊🏻♀️ honestly felt when we got to the res that I didn’t have it in me to do much air temp was 5°C with an icy 🥶 cold 🌬️ wind. Water was 4.9°C but felt colder than last week when at just over 2 😱 either that or I was just feeling the cold more this week. Got swimming 🏊🏻♀️ and managed to mount up 382 metres which completes 3055 metres in January 😄 #thisgirlcan #thisgirlisonfire🔥 #openwaterswimming #coldwatermermaid #coldwatertherapy #coldwaterimersion #justkeepswimming #swimyourselfhappy #smilesformiles #swimmingthroughtheseasons #wherethereiswateryouwillfindme #swimadventure #numbbodyandmind
#sunday #calmbeforethestorm #stormishaonitsway #windandrain #cloudymorning #penguinswim 🐧 #polarbeardip #coldwaterswim 🥶 #coldwaterimmersion #coldwatertherapy #hardtogetoutofbed Today was a dark, rainy 🌧️ and windy 🌬️ morning but not the stormy weather I could give myself an excuse not to get out, knowing the storm was going to set in through out the day, it was a morning trip up to the local to get some #penguinantartic metres in, decided to tag a polar bear classic dip onto the end so wore my normal swimming costume 🩱 and easy to get off neoprene gloves and socks. The air temperature was slightly warmer than yesterday at 7°C and the water temperature was a slightly warmer 2.6°C 🥶😱 I definitely felt the difference in feeling the cold quicker than I do in my thermal swimming costume and my hands and feet went numb quite quickly, it was straight in with not as much faffing and straight into swimming 🏊🏻♀️. I didn’t think I’d get very many metres today but when I looked I’d managed 424 metres, took off my gloves hat and socks really quickly and laid under the water to tick of my first polar bear 🐻❄️ #coldwaterdip for January Now down to my last 327 metres that can hopefully be done next weekend along with my last polar bear dip #yay #bewarecrazypenguinlady 🐧 #notrightinthehead #winterchallenges #icandothis #sundaycraziness #wherethereiswater #coldwateradventure #justkeepswimming #swimyourselfhappy #swimmingthroughtheseasons #winterswim #ifitmakesyouhappyitdoesnthavetomakesensetoanyoneelse #thisgirlcan #watermyhappyplace #numbbodyandmind #wherethereiswateryouwillfindme
#saturdaymorning #coldmorning 🥶 #windandrain #icy #coldwaterswimming #bewarecrazypenguinlady 🐧 #coldwatertherapy #coldwaterimmersion #notrightinthehead 🤣 #winter #winterchallenges Finding #january damn right hard motivation wise, not felt the greatest so it was so hard to get out of bed, but because a friend messaged and wanted to go I forced myself out and we went up to the local res. It was a bit on the slippy slide with all the ice on the ground and air temperature was 1.5°C with water temperature 2.2°C 😱🥶 so was contemplating my life choices 🤣 but with 1200 #penguinmeters 🐧 left for January I don’t want to fail so I pushed myself into the cold water which was definitely #takeyourbreathaway cold and hoped to knock a few metres off 🥶 and with little faff just started swimming 🏊🏻♀️ I could feel my skin numb and my fingers soon followed, but with no one in sight it was so peaceful to be surrounded by the water and nature 449 metres later and I thought I best get out as I could no longer feel my body and had a lovely #lobstertan. Honestly did not think i would get anywhere near that in this temp and the way I was feeling but wearing my @zoggsuk #openwaterswimsuit makes such a difference and it’s my coldest swim to date. Got the shivers after but definitely feel a sense of accomplishment as this time last year i would of been in a wetsuit and probably not even getting anywhere near this distance I feel so much better swimming 🏊🏻♀️ without 😊 Now down to 751 metres to complete January #penguinantarticchallenge #icandothis #saturdaycraziness #wherethereiswater #coldwateradventure #justkeepswimming #swimyourselfhappy #swimmingthroughtheseasons #winterswim #ifitmakesyouhappyitdoesnthavetomakesensetoanyoneelse #thisgirlcan #watermyhappyplace #numbbodyandmind #wherethereiswateryouwillfindme
