It's 7am in the morning and I am standing in a swimming costume in the middle of Colwick Park staring at the lake I am too afraid to jump into. As a regular visitor to the park, I've often wondered what it's like to jump in and go swimming and now I'm about to find out.
In planning to join in the early morning fun, I've realised three important things: this will mean a very early morning wake-up call and also it means being in a swimming costume in public. I also have no idea where my lost long swimming costume actually is.
