Clevedon Swim
Posted by Dave on June 20, 2026 at 21:55:10
So on Tuesday morning I went to Clevedon Marine lake early, wearing my tight worn diesel jeans, t-shirt, trainers, hoodie and cap with the intention of getting in the lake.
When I got there at around 6.30 there were a few swimmers and I was gutted, totally chickened out and drove home.
After thinking about it and really wanting to do it I returned the same time on Thursday. Again there were a few swimmers and a guy paddle boarding.
I just wanted to get in so badly so I took off my hoodie and t-shirt which left me wearing my tight jeans, trainers and cap. My thoughts were if anyone says anything to me I can just say I wanted a swim but left my shorts at home.
I sat on a bench at the front for a while then just went for it, lowering my into the water which was about waist deep, it was very cold but felt amazing.
I swam for a bit, got out and sat back down on the bench, my jeans were clinging to me, soaking wet. After a few minutes I got back in and had another swim before getting out, putting my t-shirt back on and tied my hoodie round my waist to cover a definite wet bulge in my jeans.
Nobody even looked I don't think so I just walked back to my car, I had a plastic sheet on my car seat so I drove home wearing my wet jeans and trainers.
Loved it so gonna do it again this week while we have hot weather
