We do it all the time in the summer - when we are on holiday, by the sea, or even in a beautiful freshwater lake if we are abroad - so why don’t we swim in these lovely wild places in britain? In this stunning and inspiring guide, Kate Rew, founder of the Outdoor Swimming Society, takes you on a wild journey across Britain, braving the elements to experience first-hand some of the most awe-inspiring corners of the landscape. From waterfalls and natural jacuzzis to sea caves and meandering rivers - every swim is described in loving detail, taking in the humour of each mini-adventure and the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings as well as practical details about location and advice on swimming technique. With over 300 swim spots, it contains something to suit every kind of swimmer, from a five-year-old in water-wings to a seasoned cold-water connoisseur, or a rough and ready camper to a lazy-hazy summer picnicker. Beautifully photographed by Dominick Tyler, and with a fully comprehensive map, "Wild Swim" is the definitive guide to outdoor swimming in Britain from the Outer Hebrides to the Isles of Scilly and everywhere in between. If you have been an avid viewer of Robson Green’s wild swimming adventure you will know that it is largely based on the areas covered in this book, and during the show he even stopped by with Kate for a wonderful midnight swim, followed by one or two bottles of wine enjoyed in the open air whilst soaking in a portable wood fired hot tub!

This book is definitely worth buying for the wonderful heart-warming humour and fabulous photos alone!
