The severe floods in mid-September caused widespread damage. Unfortunately, U Žida weir, where we meet for winter swimming, was not spared. Thankfully, repair work is already under way as I write this on 29 September. It mainly involves dredging and removing stones that have completely filled parts of the river channel. There is a good chance the site will be ready for the start of the new season, allowing us to swim safely at “our” weir throughout the winter.
