Interesting read. Maybe I should try this. Especially as it's so convenient. Do I need to actually swim? As in, proper technique? I've never learned. I've got good sense about being near the sea - I just don't tend to get in it. Can I just submerge myself and move around for a while? I'll go check out the Outdoor Swimming Society website...

No, actual swimming is far from essential. I often do no more than a few strokes, and just bob about in the waves, mostly. If you're not a confident swimmer you should stay well within your depth - the sea can pull you about, so you want to be sure you can walk back if needed.

Cool. I was raised to respect water and I'm obsessed with the tides here. ;-)

I share your obsession!
