Max and Lewis find their training rhythm through New Year – and attract a few more Hebridean Swimmers prepared to brave the weather.
“There is nowhere on Earth colder than East Antarctica. The strong katabatic winds are so cold that their density creates gusts exceeding 125mph. The supra-glacial lake water Lewis intends to swim in will be just above freezing. This is what Lewis needs to prepare for, in just speedos, swim cap and goggles.
We began 2020 in the same way we left 2019, with two cold-water swims and an early night. Lewis was not lying about the ‘No Hogmanay’ part. The next morning, we met some of the local Hebridean Swimmers at Bosta Beach for a Loony Dook, in keeping with at least one New Year tradition!”
