    Why we love Open Water Swimming

    Still not sure if open water swimming for you?

    Then let me indulge you in some of the wonderful benefits of open water swimming…

     

    Open water swimming, whether that’s sea swimming, dipping in the estuary or trying out a spot of lake swimming, is an exhilarating experience. It’s a great opportunity to let your hair down (or keep it dry under a swimming cap), laugh til your cheeks ache, and make memories with amazing friends.


    The mental health benefits of open water swimming are unmissable. Being by, or in, the water is one of my favourite ways to calm my mind and soothe my soul. And I’m sure the rest of the GONE FOR A SWIM tribe will wholeheartedly agree!


    Finally, open water swimming pushes the boundaries of your comfort zone AND gives you a chance to keep fit while learning or improving your swimming skills. From cold water swimming to social dips, triathlon training, and swim retreats, I’m certain everyone will find something they love about open water swimming.

    "From a sea induction, sea coaching, to organised yoga & swim courtesy of Jo Good and her fabulous team. I have felt in completely safe hands. Jo has given me the confidence to try out organised distance swims and even a sponsored 1.4mile sea swim for charity. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back myself" — Emma
