Thinking of trying wild swimming? Read this first

Wild swimming, put simply, is swimming in natural water rather than in a pool or controlled environment such as your local baths. While it can be a great way to exercise, unwind, and spend time in nature, it also comes with a few extra drawbacks. That's especially true in the UK, where the weather can be unpredictable, and water temperatures often stay surprisingly cold, even during the summer.
