In January 2022, we published this cold water bath video in the same place.
“The water is at 5.2°C,” says Stanislas Barthélémy. The mayor of Longueil-Sainte-Marie is behind the first event of the year 2025 : THE January 1st bath planned for the nautical base. See you Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.
“Come in disguise, or come and see,” say the organizers. The event takes place under the aegis of the town hall andopen water birdthe swimming club to which the mayor is a member.
Mulled wine after bath
“It will be a first,” says Stanislas Barthélémy, about this festive swim. We all try to come in disguise. At least, those who manage to get up. And we make a big splash in the pond.” It will take five minutes. No more.
How does the mayor of Longueil-Sainte-Marie, used to swimming in cold water, prepare for this event? “With a bottle of Clairette de Die”, but it’s more a question of taste than a magic recipe.
At the end of the swim, mulled wine will be offered. Please note, swimming is the responsibility of the swimmer.
