Meanwhile, we go plunging into the North sea in January, pushing the icebergs out of the way... It's called wild swimming and it's supposed to do you good. I have yet to find out if that's true.

Not really family friendly though - I'd like to think a Lido would be open to more than the minority that own wetsuits outside of summer.  Me and my wife do wild swimming in rivers round here - but again to all but the wetsuit brigade it's only really feasible June - Sept - and really only in blazing sunshine.
