Anyone who came today made the right choice. Snow all around and perfect winter swimming conditions. Why travel to ski when you can enjoy winter sports right here in town? Frýdek-Místek is simply the best.
That is how we do things at U Žida on the Ostravice in Frýdek-Místek. If you are healthy, come along, listen to the essentials and go for a swim. No unnecessary talk, preparation or meditation. Get in and swim. You can try it too, perhaps as soon as next Saturday.
Another big turnout, with distancing and other precautions observed, of course. The water was 3.3°C, and five newcomers proved once again that you can start at any time. If you are reading this and hesitating, call or write and try it next Saturday.
…and everyone enjoyed it. The fog was almost thick enough to cut in places, but overall the weather was lovely. Pictures speak louder than words, so here they are — the photos and one video.
Alongside six newcomers, several groups of six experienced swimmers enjoyed a Boxing Day dip. From Sunday, the restrictions allow even outdoor sport only in pairs. If you would like to try your first swim, you can still begin.
This is what stepping out of your comfort zone and starting cold-water swimming in mid-December looks like. You can begin at any time — you just need the will.
Covid measures limit outdoor sport to six people in one place at one time from Saturday 19 December 2020. Our regular swims will continue, provided we respect this rule.
