Enjoyable!

As someone who enjoys open water swimming, I really appreciated the 'stories' of those individuals (mainly women) featured in these podcasts. I found them pretty inspirational to be honest - so many issues were covered, but the overriding message was the healing power of a cold water dip and how open water swimming can help us better cope with so many challenges thrown at us throughout our lives. I really related to many of the issues raised - I would definitely recommend.

Wild Swim in the Lakes

Enjoyed it - many useful tips included. Liked the fact it was about swimming in the Lake District. Many lakes I have walked around/ above before being a swimmer were referenced.
