I'm curious if this is a me-thing or if there are others as comfortable in these conditions as I am? I'm talking 50 to 60 (aka cold) water, rough water with huge waves; wicked rivers that will carry you away if you screw up, that sort of thing. Conditions where you are unlikely to find the majority of swimmers. I grew up on a lake and spent almost all my life around some form of water, so this all comes naturally for me. I prefer dark, murky, cold, and rough waters if I can get to them. (Or still and dank pools along creeks too...) Wearing a suitable monofin in these conditions is a great help, of course, and helps adds to the image of a real mer (or hippocampus, in my case).
Anyone else share this love and strength?
