I'm running open water swim sessions in small groups (maximum of 5 swimmers) for everybody through most of the year. While the summer months call for longer swims, working on your stroke and on confidence in open water, the winter months give us a whole other sense of achievement and buzz when swimming outside (you basically become a hero). Once I had walked over that frozen beach, snowflakes in the air, there was no turning back to being a summer swimmer 'only'. Having said that, swimming throughout the year in Scotland is 'cold water swimming' most of the time anyway, as the water temperature rarely climbs above 15 degrees, and therefore it is always challenging and good fun! 

​

Get in touch if you are a beginner and just want to know what it is all about, or if you'd like to work on your stroke, distance and speed. I offer regular swim sessions at Wardie Bay (EH5 1ER) as well as private and group sessions. Check out winter swimming sessions here!
