Esquimalt Lagoon Water Temperature on Friday, March 28, 2014 at 11:30 AM: 8.4 Celsius
We drove up island for the weekend (it sounds so cool to say that we were “up island.”) to visit the grandparents. They held an amazing Princess themed 3rd birthday party for our daughter. I love swimming in the water at Dolphin Beach, so I decided to save my swim for this weekend. However, I still checked the water temperature at Esquimalt Lagoon and I will continue to for comparison throughout the year (8.4 C).
My brother-in-law, his girlfriend and their pitbull Sophie were visiting from Alberta, so I invited them to join me for a swim. Christian didn’t make it too far in but Paige and I did a lap. Sophie did a few more laps than us but I joined her for one of her laps. It was nice to have special guests join me for my swim. I think next month my son will want to join me. He had fun suntanning with me before my swim. I dipped his hands in the water and he didn’t mind at all.
While I played Barbie’s with my daughter in the tidal pools, we checked the water temperature of the tidal pool and it was 10 Celsius. We bought a new meat thermometer so I am using our old meat thermometer to check the temperature It is more reliable and accurate than my plastic ducky thermometer that I used in January and February.
Suntanning
When Paige and I surfaced from the water, it was a bit hard to breathe as you can tell from our open mouths.
