Wild Swim by Kate Rew
Hidden glacial pools in Snowdonia, peaceful coastal dips in Dorset, enchanting swims under the stars in the Yorkshire Dales. The waterways of Britain provide endless, yet largely undiscovered opportunities to experience the wildness and wonder of our beautiful isle from a whole new perspective.
In 'Wild Swim: The best places to swim outside in Britain' Kate Rew, founder of the Outdoor Swimming Society, documents over 300 remarkable swims in lakes, lidos, waterfalls, natural Jacuzzis, sea caves and mellow rivers across Britain. There's something to suit every taste and ability - from epic adventurer to casual paddler, from wild camper to summer picnicker.
Containing swim ratings, points of local interest and 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.
So, go on, dive in! The water's lovely!
