About Really Wild Swimming

Thanks for swinging by the Really Wild Swimming website! We aim to cover all you need to know about wild swimming in the UK (and one day, beyond).

Our mission is born from our passion for finding unique wild swimming locations around the country all year round and for advocating the health benefits of bringing yourself back to nature in this crazy old world.

The UK is blessed with countless beautiful spots for a wild dip, and we aim to bring you the lo-down on some of the best (and lesser-known) locations for wild swimming across rivers, reservoirs, ravines and of course the seaside.

Along the way we’ll also delve into all you need to know about wild swimming gear including what wetsuits, shoes and accessories you may need depending on the season or the location you’re in. We’ll also offer in-depth guides to locations for wild swimming across all counties and regions in the UK, and will provide info on the best books for wild swimming.

Stay tuned to our blog for frequent updates to our thoughts on the latest wild swimming gear and of course our own wild swimming ventures.

Thanks again for stopping by!
