We are finally into the winter swims and they are the best, most crisp, most invigorating of the year.
Why do we do it?
For a start with, it is the jolt that really kick starts your whole being for the day. If you rise at this time there is no going back to bed. And by the time your contemporaries have managed to get into the shower you have already had two hours extra to think freely, to be with friends and share your wins and commiserate whatever is troubling you.
It is our ikigai. The community, the cold water, the darkness over the beach and the solitude in the water, solitude shared I should say. The beach is occupied by so few at this time.
Coffee is on Hall Street at Cali Press where we are counterparts sit at Gusto's. The older crowd of stalwarts that have been doing this a lot longer than us.
We are still loving this swims after 7 years of same same but different.
We encourage you to come and join us and get more out of your day.
