Outdoor Swimmer have just released Episode 4 of their Downstream audio series, including an excerpt from our book Swim Wild…

Downstream is a great new series in which authors read excerpts from their books and attempt to ease the dried-up tedium of COVID Lockdown. In this episode they explore the restorative power of wild swimming and time spent in nature.

Finally, for we take a virtual plunge into the most beautiful wild swimming spots in the Lake District…
