I love swimming in the sea

Especially with my friends

Submerging your body in cold water provides numerous benefits to both our psychological and physical health, through reducing the bodies stress response. Studies also show that it boosts immunity, metabolism, fitness and circulation. This means that not only does it make us mentally and physically stronger, but also that the body feels less physical pain.

One of the things we love most about wild swimming is that it is available to so many people. People of all ages and demographics can experience its benefits and it is a more accessible form of exercise than many other sports for those with physical disabilities.

England and Wales Right to Roam laws mean that we can legally swim in most rivers and lakes, whilst there is also around 250 miles of coastline to explore in Cornwall alone, all free of charge, making it an extremely inclusive activity.
