Swimming

‘My favourite spot to swim in the morning is down in old Kommetjie, before anyone gets up – it’s so cold you have to stand in the water for some time in order to adjust,’ says Caryn. ‘The intensity of the cold is so invigorating, I’m sure it wakes up every cell in my body. When I’m not in the ocean, I’m in the pool at Virgin Active.

‘I worry about my skin and hair after so much sun exposure (it’s in the early morning, but still). And all that chlorine! Summer bodies are made in winter, so they say. Here are the products to help you ease into your workout.

It bothers me that I can still smell it after I shower. I need to apply nourishing, hydrating products to my body and hands after each swim as they feel rather dry. And a very high SPF as I have fair skin.’ Caryn
