I am very pleased with my new swimming kit dryer that arrived today. This is a great little gadget made by some other swimming enthusiasts who do more river swimming than sea swimming.
The base is wooden and the four drying prongs are made of copper pipes, and the whole thing has been designed to sit on a radiator. I don’t have radiators, so mine is currently sitting on the side of the bath.
I have been wearing swimming gloves since October, as I found one of my fingers was going numb after some swims. The shoes are the ones I have been wearing all summer, I do have some neoprene socks too but I have not suffered from cold feet yet. My gloves are really good, I am very pleased with them. Apparently, dhb stands for don’t hold back which is a great motto for wild swimming!
