A fairly warm day end of March became starting point for this years dipping season in the creek in the garden. I was warm from hard work in the garden, so wanted to cool off. And sure did! The water temperature, which I checked after my dip, was +4 Celsius. No long swimming, which anyway is not possible in the creek, but for sure refreshing.
How nice to have a ‘creek’ in your garden in which to dip! Such cold water dips are said to be good for your immune system and they are also good as a treatment for depression as espoused by Andrew Fusek Peters in his book ‘Dip’:
