Places

My Places pages give location details for places where I have swum. (Note: these are not recommendations and I don’t give them)


Please note: all swims are at our own risk. Including a location does not indicate that it is recommended or that it is safe; we must do our own risk assessment. Swim Safety info on this website, and on Outdoor Swimming Society website, Survive section. Please follow the Outdoor Swimmers Code.

You might like to join a Facebook group to find places: most UK Wild Swim groups are listed here on the OSS website on the OSS website, and those in East Anglia and around listed on this website.

Many of my location pages include maps to help people find spots where I have swum. You are welcome to download these to help you find these places for yourself, but if sharing I would prefer you to include the link to the page so that people can see the information in context. It’s a good idea to always include a phrase such as: sharing a location does not indicate that it is safe; we must do our own risk assessment, and we all swim at our own risk. You are not welcome to download or share this material for purposes other than it was designed for, or to misrepresent information from this website.
