11/07/2012 at 3:19 pm Posted in Uncategorized. I’ve been going a lot to Parliament Hill Lido for ‘mainstream’ swims this summer.

Worth its salt | Katharine gets wet
https://katharinegetswet.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/worth-its-salt
13/04/2013 at 5:02 pm Posted in Uncategorized. Paradise, but can you really swim in it? The beautiful beach in the photo above possessed clean white sands, blood-warm water and breathtaking views, but I mostly just jumped between waves because swimming wasn’t really an option. But It’s the sea! Of being a bather rather than a swimmer, the sea will suit you. Otherwise you’re better off in a lake. Or Tooting Lido. Leave a Comment ». Feed for comments on this post.

Oasis arises | Katharine gets wet

10/07/2012 at 8:13 pm Posted in Uncategorized. The exterior, unashamedly unrefurbished, by tired of london. It’s been a while since my last post due to ridiculous quantity of studying, working and domestic commitments. But, finally, something’s happened which has prodded me out of my inertia. The Oasis ladies’ changing room has had a refurb which has really made a difference (something I said could never happen. 2 Comments ». Feed for comments on this post.

23/03/2013 at 3:50 pm Posted in Uncategorized. Get out of my way! After a work- and PhD-related sabbatical, I intend to be back blogging regularly. Since I last blogged I’ve swum in some interesting new places: Mojacar on the Almeria coast, The Shelbourne hotel in Dublin, Pennyhill Park spa, the new Ironmonger row (including the spa plunge pool) and, er, Kings Hall leisure centre in Clapton. Do you swim here often? Hampstead Heath Lido and Ponds. How to swim breaststroke – Guardian.

Swimming through the ages. 16/08/2012 at 8:19 pm Posted in Uncategorized. Hurry while it’s still open! Bit late this (it closes on 23rd August), but I finally made it to this charming exhibition. At Parliament Hill Lido on Monday. A small display of posters and artefacts (including some rather cool mid-20th century knitted swimming costumes) much of it was familiar from Susie Parr’s Story of Swimming. Leave a Comment ».

Today, it’s not just me. 21/08/2012 at 8:49 pm Posted in Uncategorized. Lots of people want to swim there when it’s hot. If I like swimming so much that I write a blog about it, it would be really, really bad form to complain about other people discovering they like it too, wouldn’t it? Exercising sanity’ one of my twitter contacts replied). It really is good that people are using the lido and realising what fun swimming is.

Ponds on the Wireless. 21/07/2012 at 11:08 am Posted in Uncategorized. Available from the Owl Bookshop and lots of others, hint hint. Would make an excellent birthday present for any keen outdoor swimmer who turns 40 this year, just sayin’) about the lifeguard who shouted at regular intervals so the topless sunbathers would turn onto their backs, until somebody knitted nipple covers for them. Available on Iplayer until next Thursday. Leave a Comment ». Feed for comments on this post. Pool pictures –...
