What is Wild Swimming?

Wild swimming (also known as open water swimming) is essentially any form of swimming that takes place in a natural body of water, rather than man-made water.

A wild swimming holiday allows you to get up close and personal with nature and the environment around you. It has seen a huge surge in popularity in recent years, with more and more people taking to the water on a regular basis.

What are the benefits of wild swimming?

We all know that swimming is a brilliant form of exercise, but wild swimming also has lots of mental health and wellbeing benefits, too.

Physical and Mental Health and Wellbeing

Swimming is a low-impact, non-weight bearing form of exercise with many physical and mental health benefits for anyone who is able to swim. It raises the heart rate making it an excellent form of exercise for improving muscle strength, cardio ability and endurance. Beyond that, swimming is wonderful for your mental health. Natural water, has always been thought to have a magical ability to cure, and wild swimming/open water swimming in particular are known to boost the immune system. By activating endorphins and improving circulation, wild swimming allows you to reconnect with nature and the great outdoors, alleviating stress and providing an environment to practice mindfulness.

More and more people are taking up wild swimming for its physical health and mental health benefits. Whether it be going for a swim in your local lake or taking a dip in the sea, immersing yourself in the cold water surrounded by nature can be a truly refreshing and uplifting experience.
