I love my wetsuit but never more than today, I pre-warmed it on the passenger side seat warmer in my car. The water is twelve and a half degrees and the wind whipping the sand across the beach makes it sound like rain on my swimming cap. The moving sand looks like what I imagine I would see in a wind swept desert. I wear my goggles on the way to the start of our swim to keep the sand out of my eyes but there's no stopping it from getting in my mouth and crunching between my teeth.
In the water I'm rocked gently by the swell, I can feel the wind and the spray off the waves, my skin is cool but it's all exterior. I'm wearing two caps, my head is warm and it feels like my mind is all safe and cosy like it's sitting in front of the fire protected from the weather outside. In the water I'm sheltered from the blustery events that build up in every day life and I'm grateful for it
