Good to see you back, with the number of people powering down and leaving I am getting concerned about this place. Rather you than me in that freezing harbour, I thought it was the open waters you swam in, not that 'swimming pool' part.

Good to be back. I haven't followed the numbers for a while, but if you are concerned I am too. It is not really a swimming pool, just a floating construction without a bottom so there are both jellyfish and current. When you swim one direction you feel strong and fast, when you swim the other direction you feel old and broken. Hard to explain water temperatures to people from Texas or Africa, but I know you know exactly how it is :)
I also go to Svanemøllen Beach to swim sometimes, it is just easier with the wooden lane in the harbour and the water is the same.
It's been years since I swam in the North Sea, I was a teenager last time, rather you than me! Jellyfish are horrible nasty things, I have been stung before.
I think I have inherited that boy scout gene from my grandmother. She loved swimming in cold water, crime novels and football (watching it not playing it).
The jellyfish that are there now are the harmless ones, but the year before I was stung pretty badly in the face by one of the red ones. We call them firemen and they are most common late in the season when the water gets colder... but that boy scout gene makes me swim even then.
