WHY DO WE SWIM OUTSIDE?
Turning up to a new outdoor swimming spot is much more stimulating & invigorating than simply going into the local indoor pool for another wall to wall 60 laps. By searching for new and unexplored places, you’ll add a sense of adventure and reward to your workout.
Its been proven that subjecting yourself to cold water swimming has some massive health benefits.
So time in the open water either cold or mid season when its above 16*c can reduce stress levels and reduce your risk of developing depression and mental illness.
​
We all need release and we all need that connection to ourselves.
​
Swimming outdoors is the best.
