Looks like it could have been a long swim and probably a bit too hot

 

Why hot? Mars is further away from the sun than Earth.

 

$"£%^"@ !!! missed it again!!

 

From what I've heard, there's still lots water in the form of frozen icecaps on the south and north poles.

 

I thought mars was hot for some reason, maybe the red stuff on the picm I was v tired at the time

 

Mars surface temp:
minimum: -87°C / -125°F
mean: -46°C / -51°F
maximum: -5°C / 23°F

So it doesn't look like much swimming would have gone on... ice skating, possibly.
