Despite the weather not being in our favour, Mel and Rich provided some great swimming experiences, where we were all supported to achieve our best and which felt very safe - and fun! Great organisation, lovely friendly people and support team - and lots of delicious cake!

Despite horrendous weather conditions, the organisers made it work so we could complete the challenge and be safe at the same time. They are passionate, committed and super supportive!

Mel and Rich and all the life guard team were great , I felt safe the whole time . Cake after each swim , group chat set up so we could all keep in touch .. Loved my weekend away with the wild swim co. Definitely will do another event with them .

This was my first experience with the Wild Swimming Co, being a fairly novice wild swimmer. From the very first moment, everyone was so welcoming and it felt like one big family. Absolutely fantastic experience delivered with care and support from all staff. Would highly recommend to anyone who is apprehensive even if a solo traveller. Wonderful swims, wonderful people and will definitely be booking again!
