Wetsuit

While it may not to be Lago di Garda, I do live by a lake and, with the kind of summer weather that we have been having (it has been like living in the Truman Show with blue skies every day), it seemed prudent to finally invest in a wetsuit, especially as I was able to get one at 50% off for 595 SEK from Simbutiken.

Jumping into the cold waters of Nydalasjön shortly before 7 am for a first test swim, it was such an unmediated feeling of absolute happiness. Even if Suunto’s “open-water swimming” mode may have given me an extra push as the GPS signal is easily lost under water, I did swim as fast as I could and now I cannot wait to get back into the water.
