With most of the Lido iced over, it's a little difficult to swim in. But the lifeguards are wonderful at clearing a passage between the steps. As it was the deep end the choice was enter down the ladder or jump. I jumped, and surprisingly didn't feel any shock. Unfortunately my goggles immediately filled up with water and made the crawl difficult.
Although mentally it seems I have acclimatised more, I almost immediately lost the feeling in my middle toes. Later in the sauna I was reminiscing about how we used to swim and barely be able to put our flipflops back on because we'd lost sensation in our toes and could don't our trousers up several minutes later. I'm going to have to stay in longer!
