Another beautiful morning for a #seaswim, with a cormorant resting on the water to keep us company and a beach yoga session beforehand.
And we're back! Due to waves almost twice my height, or endless torrential rain, we haven't managed a #seaswim since Christmas Eve. The water was f-f-freezing so we only dipped for five minutes today, but the sun was warm and we saw five Canada #geese flying overhead. What a glorious welcome.
Beaches were littered with vegetables and debris. As posted by @bhseafrontteam, be careful handling any waste in clean-up efforts; please dispose of waste in the large black bins along the seafront, including produce.

We were expecting the results to be higher following a day of heavy rain (approximately 11mm). There were no outfall alerts from Southern Water for these local beaches in the previous 48hr period.

Beautiful but very cold sea swim today at Newberry beach, Combe Martin #seaswim #combemartin #exmoor
Great fun doing #Weymouth #parkrun today followed by a quick #seaswim in the waves. Family home for Christmas
Our first #seaswim in three weeks or so and, boy, was it invigorating (ie. freezing cold in the water). We ended up with 'lobster legs' again but it was so good to be back.
Forgot to share this amazing sunrise for my Friday #seaswim luckily the torrential rain came later. So lucky to live here #Dorset

OK Wellington I'm attempting my first swim of the season . Crossing finger i have the wind direction right and scorching bay is sheltered. I'm as prepared as possible with dive boots, dive gloves a swim cap and triple layers of rash tops. #Spring? #SeaSwim?

Results tomorrow.

The best #seaswim for ages. Cold water, high waves - but mostly large swells for jumping around in once we got past the breakers and sandbank - and lovely sunshine. A great day for being in the water and for dog-walking.
๐ Been quite the week with the rain and wind!
We collected four samples; results tomorrow

What a fantastic #seaswim - even Sammy the seal joined us! Large waves, which make our time in the sea a bit of everything. Joyous, scary, fun, exciting and full of laughter. We never under-estimate its power but love being in there.
Sunday sea swim, some DWS (if you can call it that. More like shallow water traversing...), and a bit of bouldering (falling) after the tide went down.
Perfect afternoon with @megdvs.bsky.social โ๏ธ

Another great #seaswim. Moody skies, sunshine and bouncy waves - plus what felt like half the sea's worth of floating kelp strands and 'trees' wrapping around our legs. There was quite a pull, too, from the waves heading back out.
