      I started swimming in alpine lakes 8 years ago, then almost daily in the Salish Sea in 2020. My "terminal" diagnosis was in 2004 and while I have one stubborn tumor, I've had no new cancer since I got in the salty water!@@ShaktiSuzie

    The spontaneity is what makes ‘wild’ swimming. No equipment needed. While I will normally keep a very small towel in my bag when walking, it is easy to air-dry on most days with a quick run-around. It is also the purity of the relationship with nature, being enveloped in the water, that means that entering the water naked is the only choice for me. Casting away false modesty, embarrassment and negative feelings about the body turn every swim into a truly joyful experience, on equal terms with nature.

      I feel you on that! It's the same where I live, this was after a ReWilding retreat I ran so I was in a secluded place. On my next retreat we will skinny dip together so come and join! A tip is to go really really early to a place where there are usually people or find a steep river bank where people won't go. Those are the way I've done it occasionally at home and it's very worth trying to find a way! Drop me your email if you want to have details of retreats. Good luck with the swim - I'm cheering you on 💧
