OK, I've talked to two police departments and called public health and the beach info line, and no one has been able to give me a reason (other than confused “isn't it too cold to go swimming?”) why I can't, legally or otherwise. So it's on… I didn't really want to get charged with public mischeif or anything lame.
The original plan was to go to Sunnyside Beach, but I'd like to change that to Cherry Beach (the bottom of Cherry Street, past the docks) because it's the cleanest beach in Toronto by far. Same time, 3 PM. The weather forecast is nice for a winter swim, just around freezing, so the water should feel much warmer by comparison.
3PM Sunday – Cherry Beach
I wonder if it will end up being a jump into the water followed by a dash back to a warm car, or if I'll be up for a real swim. I think Saira is backing out (“but I have tickets to see The Magic Flute, wah wah” — Mozart or a wet icy demise?), but Roo and Blair still have their bravery intact. Anyone else who wants to come, please do. I think it will be fun. I have pretty loose definitions of “it will be fun”, because for me “I haven't done that before and I don't think it will kill me” is pretty much the same thing.
