Swimming in the rain is a very pleasant experience for me, although for what reason does not spring to mind at the moment. My feeling is the the range between out of water and in water tempetures is lessened. This is an important factor when reaching out into the Atlantic from my east coast home in the Confederation of Canuckistan.
The color of the water looks very inviting. The lighting makes it hard, for me, to make out your tat. Mind giving a visual reference, providing the lighting was not done like that on purpose? 😎
