Ever needed an incentive to get up early on a Saturday and come for a cold water swim?

Well here it is. I've got 25 special edition gold Windrush swimming caps.

To qualify to get one you need to turn up and swim 5 times on Saturday mornings in the Lido.

There are only 25 of them and the lucky owners will be able to wear them with pride safe in the knowledge that they are they hardiest of the Windrush swimmers.

The hats will be £5 and once they're gone, they're gone!

Happy to answer any questions and hope to see as many of you as possible on Saturday.

Ah, there now an alternative explanation for me always ending up happy after a few drinks in the pub...they never turn the heating on!!!!

Apparently, I’ve been told, that the first sign of hypothermia is that you start feeling euphoric- like the world’s a lovely place.

Luckily thats never happened swimming in the Lido in January to me at least :-)

I’ll let my twin brother go for the cap, I’ll wear a wetsuit! ;-)

Hi Luis.

Great question and I've had it from a few people. As this is the cold water swimming cap and meant to demonstrate the hardiest of swimmers, unfortunately we're saying no wetsuit. 

But do not despair you can build up your resistance and I'm sure a hat will be yours.

If wetsuits are allowed I am in! LoL

Hi all,

I'm hoping (if I don't chicken out!) to come along after park run tomorrow - i'm a new member so it will be nice to meet some more of you.

I'll be picking up my membership card afterwards in the cafe and don't yet have a yellow swim cap (can I also pick this up on Saturday?) so hoping I'll still be able to join?

Hi Rachel 

Welcome to the club. Should be plenty of us around tomorrow at the swimming. Think we have around 20 signed up. You'll be able to spot out lane as we have a Windrush lane sign at the end and there is always someone milling around, (making excuses not to get in the pool).

I've put a swim hat in my bag for you as well so you'll look the part.

Saturday morning lido sessions are one of the best bits about Windrush in my opinion and that is before the cake at the cafe. 

See you tomorrow - don't chicken out. Promise it is worth it.
