  • Wild swimming

    Anyone enjoy it? I went for a lake swim this morning. Was wonderful. Tried to chase a few ducks but they had too much speed. Great way to start the day!

    Swimming in a lake during a gentle rainfall is indescribably calming.

      Few nice spots out in the Peaks I go to when it's hot, Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs or the Goyt Valley. Lovely little shaded plunge pool maybe 15' across in one of the Derwent tributaries I've been going to since I was a kid, although that one's more for paddling.

        Not unless it's saltwater, or, I want to play with gators

            Yup and full on strange insect/fish hybrids. Oceans are bug free thank god.

              That sounds fantastic! I love being out in storms. Don’t get many in the UK unfortunately.

                Love swimming in pretty much any body of water but theres nothing like swimming in a clear calm river early in the morning. Do a lot of river camping with the family and first thing in the morning i"ll just throw my ass into the river,helps cure my hangovers too.

                Swimming in crystal clear rivers lined with beautiful huge Sequoia trees in Oregon is one of the most enjoyable/serene swims anyone could have. Wish I could do it more often.

                  Isn’t Oregon essentially heaven on earth?

                    Lol,pretty much bro. From the coast to about 100miles inland is incredibly beautiful. We camp on the chetco river near the coast. While everyone's still asleep i"ll take a little toke,pound a beer,get the campfire going again and go for my swim,**** just mellows everything out.
