Frolicking in the white stuff

Sara, Paul C, Joan and Ollie met in the dark on the beach where the water was wild, but on its way out to low tide. After a brief discussion of shall we/shan't we we slapped on the swim caps and braved the elements. It was too rough to get into a decent stroke, and with a 21m.p.h wind the current from West to East, the conditions could catch us out if not careful, so putting safety first it was more of a case of enjoying the waves and catching 50yrd dashes between the groynes. We kept within our depth and the height of the tide meant we could stand on a sandy bottom. We managed to catch a few waves body surfing which was ace! After half hour or so we made our way in and all tucked in to hot drinks. thats when we noticed Sara's ankles. At first we thought she had broken several bones but had been unaware due to the cold. they ballooned like 70's flares throughthe wetsuit. Taking off the booties - which must have created a lovely water tight seal - the water gushed out and made its way back down the beach to join the rest of the sea. I know there is a rule about taking pebbles off the beach...but seawater???
