GO FOR THIS YEARS FIRST SWIM IN THE SEA



Place: Lauttasaari, by the polices' sauna
Time: 24.04.2009 between 7 and 9 pm
Duration: 2 times 1 minute

Sweating in the sauna and chilling in the water is probably the most common way to exercise freedom in Finland. The water is cold. I like that.

  1. This is not the kind of freedom I would like to have....especially in Finland or any Nordic country :-) From your previous photos - it doesn't look like swimming weather. But I guess it is related to your definition of freedom - although, I'm not sure if I would agree that freedom would be a belief in anarchy :-) Can't wait to see photos of your first swim...will you need to break ice first?

  2. Your morfar used to swim in cold - and warmer -water. But ha preferred the fjord. He said that salt water is the most healthy. He liked sauna too, even though he was not a Finn but Norwegian. There was a sauna at Hjulstad, where he grew up.

  3. You are really strange people - if your idea of exercising freedom is to sweat in sauna and freeze in water.........???????? :-)
