Travelling abroad for a swimming event is a great way to combine swimming and sightseeing. Last weekend I was sat in a portable sauna with a Latvian, an Estonian and a Belarusian. There has to be a punchline in there somewhere, but in fact we were warming up after swimming in 0.8 degree C water at the Pirita Open Winter Swimming Festival in Tallinn, Estonia. Read my review of the event below.
