Wild swimming, simply put, is swimming in open bodies of water such as oceans, lakes and rivers. They offer us a chance to be at one with nature and experience floating along the shores of idyllic beaches or in the deep, crystal clear waters of an Alpine lake.
Wild swimming has long been a tradition in many communities, offering swimming clubs, friends and families the chance to meet with one another, practise their strokes and most importantly, foster connections. But it also has become a growing hobby for people to do alone, taking a break from the stresses of the modern world and work by swimming in natural spaces that calm the mind and body.
