On a cold May morning, the Collingwood Football Club held a recovery session at the St Kilda Sea Baths.

The highlights included:

Injured Magpie Dane Swan took part in the session which commenced with ball work on the grass before heading into the freezing Port Phillip Bay.

Senior coach Nathan Buckley addressed the media in his weekly press conference and spoke about the challenge facing the club ahead of Saturday night's encounter with Adelaide.
