I decided to do a short guide to winter swimming while going for my morning swim in Ullswater. With over a decade of winter swimming behind me, I’m a great believer in just going out and enjoying the experience in whatever way makes you happy. Short dip in wetsuit or longer swim in skins. As long as you swim regularly and don’t overdo it. Winter swimming is an incredible experience and I hope this video gets that across.

Video: Clearwater man defrosts Thanksgiving turkey in swimming pool
A Clearwater man threw his Thanksgiving turkey in his swimming pool to defrost it.
Mark O’Donnell said it’s a family tradition to toss the bird into the pool.
He said every year they take a video of the annual tradition.
“Most people wonder ‘doesn’t chlorine get into your turkey?’ These bags are sealed by factories. We’ve never had a leakage yet and no chlorine in our turkey,” said O’Donnell.
O’Donnell said they tossed the 16-pound turkey into the pool on Tuesday. It took about four hours to defrost.
