Eleven or nine lengths. I was lazy and lido'd about with a book, and swam in between, so completely lost count.

Never, ever, stick a toe in the water, unless you're actually going to go back to the changing rooms if you don't like it :) If the water's fine it doesn't matter, and if it's cool, it doesn't matter if you go in quickly. So the only thing hesitating first does is make you shiver before hand :)

Yup. I've always taken the `take the plunge quickly approach'. At Jesus Green I dive in. A bit of a shock but its worn off by the time you get to the shallow end. In the sea I tend to throw myself down as soon as it's vaguely deep enough as half in half out is worse.

I always go in slowly.

It is completely the wrong way to do it.
