> It's a tradition around here for groups of people to partake in New year's swims from local beaches.The wife and I usually go to watch one of these, as much to get out of the house as anything. So we made our way to the local beach.
> The swim is organized by the Round Table and local rugby club. Consequently there are usually a good number of rugby players of all ages taking part, usually dressed in club shirts with either shorts or trackies. This year was no exception, and amongst the Santa suits, onesies, and assorted swimwear there were a good few blue shirts. I noticed amongst them a guy of around 15 in black skinny Adidas trackies, and a grey North Face hoody.He also had on some Orange coloured Adidas trainers. As I was fantasizing that he might be taking part dressed like that,I became aware of the wife speaking to the lady I didn't know. I was introduced to her, apparently the wife used to work with her years ago, but she left to have a baby. Conversation turned to what family she now had, and it turned out that her and her son were now on their own. "That's him" the lady said, "down there in the grey hoodie. Little sod said he wasn't taking part today, but when we got here he now says he is. He's wearing all his new Christmas clothes as well. That hoody cost me £65". "Are you going to let him" my Mrs asked". Well it's all washable the woman replied. It might as well have its first soak now, coz sure as hell it'll get plenty of others". I wondered what she meant, but thought better than to appear to interested.
> Sure enough the countdown soon took place, and around 100 dippers plunged into the cold sea. I tried to watch the lad as closely as I could, my own excitement now at an all time high. He plunged in and went under, the hoodie changing colour to almost dark black. Although I couldn't see to well from a distance, I could not imagine the water deluging out of it when he stood up. It was still dripping heavily when he came back to us afterwards, shivering but happy, little streams f water making the trackies shine as they ran down his legs. "Happy now? his mother asked him, When I brought you that outfit I knew it wouldn't stay dry for long, but I didn't expect you to soak it the first day you wore it".
> We said our goodbyes, and joined the throng of people, some shivering and wet, making their way to their cars.
> "Strange that you should meet Lisa" I said, on the way back home."Yes" the wife replied, "she was telling me about Ryan,apparently he likes getting wet in his clothes, and she has been worried he might be odd. I told her it was a man thing, and not to panic". He will probably grow out of it like you have". If only she knew.
