Taken at the end of January when the average sea temperature was between 4.8C and 7.2C, this man had just finished a swim and was drying off in the shelter! I was wearing several layers of clothing plus a hat and gloves. It was very cold and the wind was icy.

I know cold water swimming is supposed to be good for you.......but no thanks :-))

Happy Bench Monday everyone. Thank you to all of you who have visited my photo-stream over the past week especially if you've left a comment and\or a yellow star. Much appreciated.

I hope you all have a good week!

Glad you like the photo Jean Paul..............I also think the man is very courageous, but probably slightly mad as well :-)))

Hier in Deutschland sagen wir "nur die Harten kommen in den Garten"...ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob die Übersetzung die Bedeutung dieses Sprichwortes wieder gibt aber es bedeutet einfach...der Herr vor der gelben Bank ist cool wie Erdbeereis :)))))))

Ha, ha..............this is a fairly common sight in Southsea...........all year round. There are a lot of tough people I think (male and female) and mostly elderly.
