Pondering: The Heat

Cooling the Body

There is a saying in Bermuda that the evening is the best time to swim in the ocean because the sun has warmed the water over the course of the day. Whilst warm water was the ideal temperature to swim in when I was a child, I find it undesirable as an adult.

My preference is to swim in cool water, or even better, cold water. Unfortunately, this means I have to be in the water no later than 11:00 a.m. Any time later than 11:00 runs the risk of the water being the same temperature as soup. Ugh.

I've learned and applied various approaches to staying cool during the warm months. These come in handy when I am unable to get into the ocean in the morning. Check them out.
