Book Description
New to wild swimming and wondering how to stay safe? Old to wild swimming and wondering what's been accidentally left out of this book? Fed up of hearing about wild swimming but in need of a present that looks like you care about it? All welcome. After ten years of swimming in the sea in Scotland, Sue Gyford found herself on the admin teams of two online wild swimming groups amid what she lovingly calls "The Great Influx of 2020". Lockdown, cabin fever, the closure of swimming pools, and the inability to fly to Magaluf, saw huge numbers of people heading to beaches, rivers and lochs near home to swim. At the same time, wild swimmers could no longer swim in groups, so more experienced swimmers couldn't lead by example or pass on scraps of advice over their shivery bites. Eventually she decided that, rather than concocting ever-more baroque facebook posts about the dangers of cold water swimming and how to avoid them, she'd put it all in one place. A place where nobody could answer back in the comments. The Little Book of Swimming Safely is part advice, part warning, part saving her a hell of a lot of future facebook posts if everybody buys this for themselves or their pet swimmer. It doesn't pretend to be complete, she's probably missed out some obvious but important tips but she's publishing it herself, so this is her best shot. Keep safe, have fun, don't be stupid, be kind. That's about the size of it.
