water's warmer than you think

It's NOT COLD. 

It's always warmer than Bondi surf in summer.

This is an unexpected consequence of the new smaller half-Olympic lap pool - which replaced the former, much bigger full Olympic – it’s shorter by half & shallower.

Smaller body of water warms faster & retains warmth.
