The health minister is encouraging people to get outdoors, in pairs at most. A river is certainly part of nature, so from 22 October we will swim only in pairs until further notice. More on Facebook.
Until restrictions ease, I am offering swims at our usual times for beginners who enjoy it but are not yet ready to manage on their own. Maximum six people.
As I often say, smile for the camera: you never know when it might be the last time. Today was our last swim together for a while. Find the latest information in the Facebook group.
Ladies ❤️ and gentlemen 👍, Saturday’s swim will still take place as competition training, with up to 130 people. From Monday, there will be two consecutive sessions of no more than twenty people each, as in spring. It is straightforward: beginners and anyone in a hurry go first; experienced swimmers and runners follow once the first group is out. The upper railing will separate the groups, with a great view for photos and encouragement. I will explain everything there tomorrow. See you by the water ❤️👍
New restrictions are expected from Friday, so we do not know whether we can keep training for competitions . Any news will appear here straight away. Today the water was 12.3°C and… it was lovely, was it not? Hopefully we can do it again on Saturday .
The Frýdek-Místek cold-water swimming season began on 30 September 2020 at 4.15pm. Almost seventy people swam in the Ostravice at 13°C, and the warm-up run afterwards also attracted a record 38 runners.
