BarefootEm Swims

#GuessTheLido is now retired. I've absolutely loved it. Thanks to all the guessers over the years and all the stories and pics you've shared. There's been a wonderful sense of community. I think it's safe to say that @AquaHarwood is the undisputed Queen of Lidos 👑 Happy swims

The sun came out mid-swim at Portobello today

@cgkboston Enjoy that, Chris

@BarefootEmSwims Great picture looking forward to getting into the North Atlantic soon

First sea swim in forever. Good to be back

@Rosa_Rot_964 Thank you 😊

@BarefootEmSwims Enjoy the swim! 🙌

@brew_with_view I am! And back in again today 💙

@BarefootEmSwims Hope you're now fully rehydrated 💙

@hauseandhavers Ooh, nice. It's the London pool I swim in most, due to its great opening hours.

@BarefootEmSwims Oh us too! Once upon a time that was our local.

Wish I was swimming at London Fields in the snow right now ❄️

My fave. Happy Birthday @bramleybaths 🎂 bbc.com/news/articles/…

Love this range. Have a few in reserve in my card box, although I'm tempted to pop them in frames and keep them for myself 💙

The 1st part of our viability study funded by @ArchHFund showed that #Carlisle baths could operate as a #health & #wellbeing centre with the #TurkishBaths at its heart. We're #fundraising for the next stage, please #donate if you can: justgiving.com/friendscarlisl… #heritageatrisk

Around the world in 80 baths... takes us to Arendal marina which has #Norway's first floating outdoor swimming pool. It's heated & kept at approx. 25 degrees celsius for #swimming between May & September 😊 #swimmingpool #outdoorswim

@BarefootEmSwims We would be ok with 1, but 3 leaks - our roof is against us. Humidifier working overtime. Sending solidarity in these hard times.

Thunderplumps can do one. See also stoating, dreich and 'pishing it doon'. What's yer favourite Scottish word for rain? ⛈☔️💦 P.S Anyone else's roof leaking?! 😭
