The sign made me laugh. I wasn’t tempted to swim; I saw it when it was 0C and snowing… Some midwesterners go for a polar plunge in the winter, not I.
Have you swum outdoors when the temperature is under 0C (32F)? I have not and it’s not in my plans. 😄
For my analytical readers, the waters are dangerous here because of motorboats, in warm weather. 😉

Interesting, would you like to learn one day?

I think it’s the costume that puts me off. A Muslim woman is supposed to be covered all over, arms and legs so swimming in a Muslim costume can be very restrictive. Besides we live in a city that’s not near a water source.

Yes, I can see that would be a barrier. I have noticed Muslim girls swimming in our town wearing a suit that is similar to a wetsuit, with a hood hijab, long sleeves and covered legs. It might feel less buoyant when trying to swim laps or learn to swim, however. How are you feeling? Are you beginning liquid food?

Exactly so.
I’m much better, almost healed. In liquid diet but clear liquids.

Lots of the British (not me!) make a point of swimming on Christmas and/or New Year’s Day!

Instead of warning
They should write “Caution: avoid swimming ” words can bring a huge difference

Yes, in this case I think that’s the idea.

Thanks, Devang. I think danger might be the right word in this case. No matter how good of a swimmer you are, motor boats are bigger and faster, and the driver can’t see a swimmer well.

Exactly! Outdoor swimming is not on the agenda for the next 6 months. 🙂

After discovering that the Pacific Ocean washing the Southern California shore is colder here in summer than the warm Atlantic tropical waters I was used to, I no longer go swimming at any of our beautiful beaches. Swimming during winter time would be unthinkable!

The Pacific does not feel tropical near California or in Chile! I can see why you forgo swimming.

I know this isn’t what you are asking, but in ski country there are many heated outdoor pools. A couple of times in Colorado I swam outside when it was way below freezing. but the water was warm 🙂

Yes, Trent, I was wondering if someone would mention that or after sauna dips. 🙂 I have a favorite memory of sitting in a hot tub in Colorado after skiing with my parents and sister, while it was snowing.
