Yeah , similar problem , nowhere cold close .
I’d like to try it though .
Swimming is a real eye opener , it took me a few lessons to get from 25m and stop to swimming a decent distance but probably 2 years until I lost the sense of semi panic if I missed a breath , caught someone’s feet etc ... and i still get passed by old folk doing breast stroke whilst I’m doing my crawl ... there’s so much technique to it .
But when you see someone swim effortlessly it’s a beautiful thing .
I have to admit I’m not a lover of any pool really , I love an open water or sea swim .. I think it’s the smell of the chlorine vs mud or sand in my toes
