Grani swim

It is cold today and raining heavily. But I made a plan to go out for a swim every day. 

So today was the opportunity to go for a swim my home lake, Gallträsk. This is a small, very shallow lake that isn't really prime swimming real-estate, but nevertheless, the city installed stairs for swimmers from the pier. They've been used, people do occasionally take swims here. I have done that in the past, too. On my previous visit there were also some other people there at the same time.

But in these Corona times maybe it is better if I find a time when there's no one else there, and the rails and steps have been washed clean. What better opportunity did I have than torrential rain?  :-)

The water in the lake was quite warm, though.
