Newly AddedWild Swimming
Overview
Wild swimming is simply swimming in open water, in lakes, rivers, lidos and the sea, surrounded by scenery instead of tiles and chlorine. People rave about it, and not just for the swim: the cold-water hit, the calm afterwards and the sheer joy of being in a wild place have a way of clearing the head like little else.
It is wonderfully accessible, but open water deserves respect. Guided sessions and introductions teach you about cold-water safety, acclimatising and reading conditions, which is the sensible way to start, especially if the cold is new to you.
The guides on adventuro run wild swimming sessions and introductions for all levels. Go in with someone who knows the spot, warm up properly afterwards, and enjoy the buzz.
