<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The thrill of plunging--or dipping a toe--into open water brings joy, confidence, adventure, and friendship. It can wash away stress and sadness, pain and grief. Here water is a great healer, a place to feel gloriously, elementally alive and in touch with yourself, with others, and with nature. Full of life-affirming personal stories and breath-taking images of scenery and swimmers, this book<i></i>celebrates the remarkable wild swimming community. With practical advice on how wild swimming works and how to get started--from what you'll need (a swimsuit and a smile!) to where best to go (rivers, oceans, lochs, lakes . . .)--there's never been a better time to take the plunge.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Dip into this beautiful book, and understand the healing nature of wild swimming before you have even taken that first plunge." --Miranda Hart<br><br>"This book is a joy!" --BBC Radio 2<br><br>"Wow! What a book. This is an emotional description of what we wild swimmers know and love. So familiar are the stories that I feel I know them all personally; if I haven't uttered the words myself, I have probably thought them often. Lived it, loved it.
