Sea swimming is really great but maybe stay out when there's a storm on the go and you have fuck all experience with rough seas.

Jaws is one thing, it's seeing some of the toothy things caught along the Dublin coast in the Natural History Museum that really puts me off. That and the cold. And the stony beaches. And @rettucs's mates.

hey, I consider you a mate. Don't put yourself down like that.

I'd like to take up sea swimming too but I'm not getting into Dublin bay. They were talking about this on the radio recently, some medical guy said it's good for you, gets the circulation going and boosts the immune system. A listener texted in to ask if a cold shower would have the same benefits and he said yes it does as long as you stay in long enough to get really freezing and shivery so I've started doing that. It's fairly miserable.

But what could be wrong with swimming in Dublin bay?

Swimming ban at Dublin's Merrion strand due to poor water quality

City beach is first to face such a prohibition, as EPA rates it as ‘poor’ for fifth year in a row

Johnson is isolating after being in contact with a confirmed case. Don't care about him but it'd be pretty bad if he got it a second time.

Don't you need to have had it a first time in order to get it a second time?

I started having a cold shower in the mornings for a while during the summer, because ... well, because we had gone camping, and the tent got destroyed by the wind, and while I was trying to get the tent down and all the stuff under cover out in the lashing rain and wind I felt more ALIVE than I had done in ages, so I thought maybe what I needed to lift my spirits was more adversity, but manageable adversity. Worked ok, but after a while I realised that I had basically just introduced one more thing I didn't like into my day and yeah well maybe that wasn't such a good idea. So I stopped

Haha yes, however my point is that you can't get it a second time if you never had it a first time...
