SEA TEMPERATURE IS 21C

I have been swimming since the beginning of June. The sea has been pleasantly cool and fresh, very clean and crystal clear. It is slightly cold at the beginning but you get used to the temperature after a few strong strokes. But this couple ( they look foreign to me) are not yet convinced they could dip in and prefer to continue testing the water – as if it may warm up any minute. The place is Balluta where there is a tiny sandy beach, the only one in the Sliema area.

Many thanks for looking and for your lovely and encouraging comments on yesterday’s picture.

The water looks great for swimming! I agree, once you start swimming, you'll warm up naturally. But I dislike that cold start, haha, and I will complain about it. Great shot!

Sounds a bit cool. Nicely captured scene.

[Shanne]

That first dip is always the worst, but after that it usually warms up nicely.

They look like Aussies in those speedos!
I think it's best just to dive under straight away, the more you wait the harder it is to go in

[Harry J Benson]

nice composition, like the small ripples
