Looks good. Need to get my red badge now
Wild swimming my arse. When I was growing up in the 60s and 70s it was called going for a dip in the canal, lake or river. The only wild thing about it was, we had a bloody good time of it 😊. My elder brother who's 70 going on 12 took it up again last year, and went 'wild swimming' up near Frodsham way. Went wild swimming came back with the wild shites 😅.
This is great. I enjoy swimming in my local rivers. I wish more people in the United States would get into wild swimming again.
Embrace the cold! 🥶
When I was a kid, everybody would go swimming in the local river. Didn't do us any harm. Damn sight more fun than a pool.
+homer blair Our rivers pH and genral cleanness is monitored by the councils due to the EU's strict water monitoring rules.
Brave people. I live by the river Wey in Weybridge, Surrey but cannot dare to think
about swimming.
Why is that?Waterquality;dangerous litter or you can't swim????
Pe Bo . I’m not a good swimmer.
Never too late to learn!
Pe Bo thanks. I will try..
Plants can filter everything? Stonewort? But everything?
Good luck to 'em all, but to my mind, if you're wearing a wetsuit... You ain't going THAT wild..
True
I'm afraid the cold water will give me a stroke or heart attack but I like the idea
Apparently the sudden cold is great for your heart
Only the UK could make swimming illegal. I really must get back to NZ
the people who own this country would tax the sodding air if they could. The idea that i have to get permission from another human being to use a lake in the country i was was born in really irks me!
It's not illegal in most rivers and lakes, some councils and authorities try to stop it but the right to roam gives a lot of rights and access, If you go to the Lake District you can legally swim in most rivers and lakes and if you go into one of the reservoirs you might get someone shouting at you, big deal!
She is so wrong the Thames is full of raw sewage
It's not wild swimming. It's just swimming
Hannah MacInnes seem very smug to me ....
They seem better than that to me.
Swimming in raw sewage and dead animals. Great.
