Sue says:

Lucky enough to live close to the coast in South Wales, In April this year I joined a local group of swimmers who throw themselves into the sea (without wetsuits) several times a day throughout the year. Following a traumatic incident earlier in the year, sea swimming has helped to heal my mind, brought me wonderful new friends and laughter. I absolutely love starting the day leaping over waves as the sun rises
