Steph from Chillswim explains how she prepares for cold water swimming. Water temp is around 4 degrees in Windermere on the 11th Dec on a bright and frosty morning - (location of The Big Chill Swim). Steph admits to being an enthusiastic but not a strong swimmer - though she has several winter swimming seasons behind her. For the video Steph didn't strip her costume off at before she put her warm togs, but you should remove your wet costume ASAP before getting changed!
