Haven't swum a lick this summer. I'm not a big swimmer though and there's no local pool.
ReplyDeletePools are boring! Lakes, rivers, the sea, anything but a pool, I'd say. ;-)
DeleteO I love these. Very summer.
ReplyDeleteYes, Lago Maggiore spells summer.
DeleteHow beautiful! Is the water very cold?
ReplyDeleteNot at all, Vicki - perfect for swimming!
