Trina Jerkin

I'm Trina Jerkin and I'm just living here in Castletown Gig and just a few kilometres down the road.

Honestly, I found it very cold.

That was my original thoughts.

Really different to swimming in a swimming pool.

Yeah, the cold on my face and my ears and my head definitely found that tough.

Yeah.

What about yourself?

Yeah, well, you're good.

Niamh and my father go dipping in the water all the time, but I'm such a chicken, I would never... I hate cold, so to go in there was a big deal to me.

I'm such a chicken when it comes to the cold.

Be back next week?

I'll come back next week, yeah, for more torture.

Would you consider yourselves good swimmers?

I actually thought I was a good enough swimmer.

I'm not afraid of the water or anything like that, but...

Paula was trying to give me some lessons on my arms and where to put them.

I think I was trying to focus on, I don't know what I was trying to focus on.

I would say I'm a good enough swimmer, but when it comes to the lake, I don't think it's, I wasn't great today.

I would be comfortable in it.

I'd be able to get from A to B if I needed to, but I definitely would like to work on my stroke and everything like that to get kind of more smooth in the water and get a bit further.
