#134 Loch Swimmers

We were passing Duddingston Loch today so we stopped to look for more cygnets, goslings & ducklings (Claudia loves anythig small and fluffy !)
In the distance I noticed a couple of unusual species. On a closer look it turned out to be a couple of guys who had taken to the water !.
Now it was quite a nice day, but its still far from summer, the water is very cold and this loch has a very muddy bottom. Rather them than me !

Maybe they were challenged into a dare...surely you wouldn't go in there willingly.

Oh come on John, you remember when you were a kid and went swimming way too early in the season. Looks like a nice place to swim, actually.
