I'm 72, I've been swimming in the sea everyday since 27. I can say that swimming in the winter cold water is even better! Much better! It stimulates your adrenaline and challenges you determination.

That was brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing a bit of yourselves with us, Joy and Peter. I hope to be able to swim until I'm too old to dig a hole as well. 😂😂 Keep swimming, and I hope to see you at the pool sometime. 🏊🏊‍♂️❤
