What is Wild Swimming
Essentially, wild swimming is swimming in any natural bodies of water - whether it be a lake, pond, river, or the ocean.
​
It is swimming off the beaten track, in pools, rivers, lakes, and the sea or anywhere you can submerge yourself in natural water. This is the fun, unregulated side of swimming.
​
It is meditative, it reduces inflammation and reduces stress hormones, and increases happy hormones and most importantly it helps you connect with nature.
​
And yes, in most cases it is COLD!
​
What you need to go Wild Swimming:
- You must be a competent swimmer and confident in the water. No swimming lessons or instruction is given on-site.
- A wetsuit (shortie or full length), swimming gloves, and swimming booties or beach shoes are recommended.
- Towel or Dryrobe.
- Suitable swim goggles are advised if you want to swim the length of the lake.
- We recommend that swimmers wear a bright-colored swim hat so they can be seen easily in the water.
- We recommend that non-wetsuit swimmers use a swim tow float when swimming.
- Please enter and exit the water at the specified area - at the steps.
- Annual disclaimer must be signed with membership.
