Decided today was the day that we’d try the eFoldi at Ellerton Water Park so I could swim. I’ve really missed the open water swimming but my walking is too bad to go without my scooter and a friend/boyfriend. 
As you can see it got me lakeside and Kris walked me to the water. The lake is great for me as it has steps into the water. It gives me a lot of confidence getting in and out. 
The water was a lovely 16°C but as it was my first open water this year I opted for my shortie wetsuit over a rash vest. The arm warmers are cycling ones and they help with windchill when arms are out of the water.
It was a little windy today so quite choppy with actual white topped waves in places!
I didn’t swim far but a swim is a swim and I loved it! I was a little anxious in case my body failed me in water out of my depth but it didn’t mostly because the water was chill enough for the MS to be suppressed a little. Heat intolerance sucks!
I swam in my happy swimming cap and donned my happy swim beanie to warm up afterwards.
And the best bit? Tea and scone in the cafe after!
So my fab weekend has continued!
One of the great things about Silsden is how great it is to scoot round with my eFoldi. Folds up neatly both in the Italian last night and in Crumbs this morning. It has made my life so much easier and it’s a lot of fun!
My life with MS and other idiosyncrasies!
