At 9 am on 1 April, we brought six months of regular swimming to a close. We do this every year: a break is welcome, cold-water swimming makes less sense in summer, and it gives us all the more reason to look forward to autumn. The 2023–2024 season opens at 9 am on Saturday 30 September 2023. I will be posting that everywhere, so you cannot miss it. In the meantime, you can already put it in your diary.
