In this stunning and inspiring guide, Katy Rew, founder of the Outdoor Swimming Society, takes you on a wild journey across Britain, braving the elements to experience first-hand some of the country's most awe-inspiring swim spots, from tidal pools in the Outer Hebrides to the white-sand beaches of the Isles of Scilly.

Waterfalls, natural jacuzzis, sea caves, meandering rivers - every swim is described in loving detail, taking in not only the gleeful humour of each mini-adventure and the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings, but also practical information about how to find these remote spots.

Beautifully photographed by Dominick Tyler, and with a fully comprehensive map, Wild Swim is the definitive guide to outdoor swimming in Britain.

'A practical guide to pools and beauty spots combined with imagery that perfectly captures the freshness and freedom of elemental swimming.' Charlotte Ross, Evening Standard

'Written in the freewheeling spirit of the late Roger Deakin...it is both a taster and a spur, passing on the news of places to swim in your neck of the woods and also tempting you to travel to places further afield.' Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday

'Brilliantly informative, poetically descriptive and beautifully photographed, this outdoor swimming guide will be loved by both intrepid adventurers and coffee-table fantasists alike.' Easy Living
