  1. Last swim with the built-in floating devices. Quite fittingly, my trusty orange Puffin personal buoy has also handed in its notice after 6ish years of oceans and lakes. Fair enough. I'll treat myself to a fancy new dry bag buoy in October. Speaking of October: I tried to have a wee chat with Poseidon, and hopefully we made a deal for calm seas on my first swim back. But who knows? The gods can be fickle after all.

  5. I went for a swim yesterday outdoors. The water is now chilly though not yet cold. It was lovely once in. I'm hoping I might get used to cool water and this won't be the last time.

    I am not an autumn lover but the end of summer doesnt distress me like it used to.

  6. You'd hardly believe this is Spain in August 😆 a bit of rain—earlier this morning, not even now—has driven all but the wetsuited serious swimmers away, and I pretty much had the beach to myself. 🤩 Amazing last swim with tape. Next two weeks I have to either brave it in a binder or sports bra or just skip swimming entirely. We'll see. But right now, all that matters is that one perfect swim. 🥰

  10. You'd swear this was a lagoon in the South Pacific. It's northern Sweden.
    Turquoise water over flat slate ledges near Gäddede in Jämtland — no palms, no reef, just birch and moss on the cliff above and a current cold enough to steal your breath.

  14. Why swimming in the Rhine is allowed in Switzerland but banned in Germany.

    Basel has spent decades making the Rhine safe for swimmers, while German cities are imposing bans.

    Could a growing European push to reclaim urban waterways change that?

  18. From One Day to The Next at a Borders Loch

    Lindean Loch approach It’s what is sure to be the final hot day of the summer, and my friend and I have just squeezed our cars into the rows of parked vehicles close to the entrance to Lindean Loch, a popular spot for seasonal recreation in the Scottish Borders. We are not here to frolic in fun, but to savour our last truly warm swim of the summer. But as we trudge along the leafy path stippled with colourful splashes of red campion and rosebay willowherb with our bags of kit, to the entry […]

  22. Wild swim was lovely this morning! I took my litter picking stuff and we got two bags of rubbish and discarded towels.

  31. Tidal Pool Swim

    In Hermanus on Monday to collect our unsold paintings from an art gallery we decided a bit of tidal pool swimming was in order. We discovered Ficks Pool and decided that was the right thing to do.

    The water was icy probably 16°C but still we swam and it was fun.

    And I got caught by a wave!

    We had coffee and a pizza in a restaurant overlooking the pool afterwards.

  34. Not really #wildswimming but a beautiful, picturesque tidal pool in #Hermanus
    Fresh sea water refilling the pool at every high tide.
    Cold water at 16°C and fish cruising in comparative safety
    An upside is that there is a restaurant just above the pool that sells great coffee for an after swim warm up.
