My first roll in the sea this spring was hurried and felt jerky, not at all smooth. The issue was the 1 degree water. In the last several weeks I've spent a lot of time under water in the cold and now it doesn't affect me as much.<br /><br />I also wear a helmet not for the cold but to keep me from looking too much like a mad butcher with my neoprene skull cap on!<br /><br />Tony :-)Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811529922250366230noreply@blogger.com
