| Ducks paddling at Puffer's Pond - 11/12/2012 |
Anyone who’s been visiting this blog regularly knows that we
post updates, just about daily, on conditions at Puffer’s Pond, including air
and water temperature. Today – with the water temperature at an even 43
° F – we actually spotted a
man swimming
. No, it wasn’t some
accidental slip on the rocks that sent him into the frigid water, but a
determination to get into shape. He insists that cold water swims are essential to his training and weight loss regimen. The one caveat he provided – just don’t stay
in the water too long or you might risk nerve damage. Needless to say, I won’t be putting that to
the test anytime soon. As soon as I told him what the thermometer was reading, he jumped back in – apparently knowing it was all of 43
° F made it that much
easier to bear!
Haha thanks for the write-up. This is Andy, from the photo. Keep it up, for my sake at least! I'll definitely be targeting the warmer days...
