Sea swimming news: went for a swim this morning and it was lovely. Several other swimmers already there, including a few people I know, all felt very jolly and sociable.
While I was in the water, the life guards arrived to open up their little hut on the beach… and put the red flags out.
Apparently, water quality not great after last night’s Weather.
Oh well. At least if I get horribly ill later today, I’ll know why.
I’ve now installed the Safer Seas & Rivers app on my phone so in future I can get alerts *before* I go in the water.
(Wowbagger, in case you’re planning a dip today, the app is also showing pollution warnings for Southend)
