It has been a great year for outdoor swimming , here are my top 3 swims of 2019. I've enjoyed meeting new people, going new places, experiencing the thrill of swimming in white water skins. Being part of the swan runway, a seal popping up during a swimrise and Sharrah Pool swooshing were just brilliant. There are longer videos on two of these swims here:

Sharrah Pool, River Dart, is it worth the walk?

Outdoor swimming is a fantastic activity to get involved in, but sometimes just getting started can be challenging - what to wear, where to go, who to do it with are all questions that my playlist “Get Involved with Outdoor Swimming” addresses
The Outdoor Swimming community is extremely diverse and welcoming and there are new friends waiting to meet you. Hope to see you in the water sometime soon.
