Wild swimming
Outdoor swimming, open water swimming, wild swimming... Whatever you call swimming outdoors in the sea, a lake, loch, stream, river or tarn, you may find it life-changing. That sounds dramatic, but it is true that swimming outdoors has changed people's lives. Why? Because swimming in cold water is uniquely wonderful for your wellbeing. It makes you stronger and fitter and has huge benefits for your mental health.
Open water
You'll find open water swimming more enjoyable and safer when you are confident and comfortable. Learn how to calm your breathing, improve your front crawl or breaststroke, learn freestyle and open water swimming skills like sighting. Train for open water swimming events, learn how to swim through winter or improve your technique for smooth and stress-free swimming.
