Swimming with the tide at St Monans sea pool
Gayle heads to the East Neuk for a dip in St Monans sea pool.
As I drive across the border into Fife, I feel a wonderful sense of freedom wash over me.
The sun is shining, lockdown restrictions have eased, folk are out and about in shorts and T-shirts and the car’s temperature gauge tells me it’s a balmy 15C.
Arriving in St Monans for a dip in the awesome tidal pool, I deliberate “manning up” and ditching the wetsuit.
I’ve swum in many a loch, river and indeed the North Sea in just a cossie – but rarely in April, when the water is still exceedingly chilly.
