This is NOT my photo but passed on to me by my great friend, often known as a Pocket Rocket! She is very small and this is her 2nd from the right. She goes down often to swim at 7am in Scarborough, Christchurch! Its winter. She is full of the energy for this exercise that she thinks charges the immune system!
I'm not sure.
This is an amazing photo maggie...congratulations to the person who took it. Wild swimming as they call it is popular here....they reckon it dies you no end of good...stirs you up & invigorates you....I’m too old to start that carry on!
the polar bear swim is what we call it here and there are clubs in all the provinces and they wait all year for the Christmas or New Year dive. My second winter in Canada, i joined a small group to dip in lake Ontario -- it's just a dive or swim then get back out kind of thing. and they say it's good for the immune system and the mind. the next day i got my first ever flu shot. the third day i got the flu and was sick for two weeks. 🤣 you bet i never did it again, nor get the flu shot! this is a fabulous shot though.
Beautiful Photo!
