No sign of ice on Saturday morning, but the snow was beautiful

So we took our annual group photograph — more than one, in fact, and not just group shots. At 1.9°C, the water was perfect for winter swimmers. The photographs in the album below are by Vojtěch Vajda. Thank you for them.

As on almost every Saturday, a few brave souls decided that now was the moment to start cold-water swimming. The video shows that it is not so daunting: there was even room for smiles. If you would like to take your first swim, write to me. On Saturday mornings, I am by the water especially for you.
