Water temperature?
Debatable.
Thermometers?
Tangled.
Swimmers?
Already discussing the readings.
Meet the Untangling the Thermometers Swim Badge from Kimmer Wild Swimmer — a funny 10cm embroidered badge celebrating one of those brilliantly familiar wild-swimming moments when everyone wants to know exactly how cold the water is.
Designed by British cartoonist Cookie, this collectible badge captures the humour, friendship and slightly obsessive temperature-checking that comes with cold-water and open-water swimming.
Cold water.
Hot debate.
Classic Kimmer.
Wild swimmers love a thermometer.
Possibly several.
One swimmer says:
“Eight degrees.”
Another says:
“Mine says six.”
Someone else is still trying to untangle theirs.
And eventually...
Someone just gets in.
Untangling the Thermometers celebrates those wonderfully familiar pre-swim moments when measuring the temperature becomes almost as important as the swim itself.
Cold-water swimmers understand.
Before the swim there may be:
Weather checking.
Wind checking.
Water checking.
Thermometer checking.
Then checking somebody else’s thermometer because theirs gives a different reading.
This badge celebrates the wonderfully chaotic rituals that make wild swimming communities so much fun.
