Your Guide to Wild Swimming Adventures in
We are Dan and Hannah a couple of wild swimmers and outdoor enthusiasts based in Scotland. We created this site to share our love for wild swimming and to help others discover the incredible lochs that Scotland has to offer. Whether you're a seasoned wild swimmer or just starting out, we hope you'll find something here to inspire your next adventure.
Wild swimming gives us a unique perspective on Scotland's ecosystems, and we believe part of that connection is learning to care for them. We don't have all the answers, but we are committed to finding them and sharing everything we learn along the way. This is a space for us to learn together. As we share essential practices and stories, we hope you'll share your knowledge too, helping us all preserve the delicate balance of the lochs.
While the allure of Scotland's lochs is undeniable, safety should always be your top priority. Our guides cover everything from checking water temperatures and understanding currents to identifying safe entry and exit points. We also emphasize the importance of proper gear, swimming with a buddy, and respecting the natural environment. Dive in prepared and make every swim a memorable one.
Beyond the practical guides, there are the stories. Our blog is a collection of adventures, big and small. Here you'll find inspiration for your next trip, tips from experienced swimmers, and a deeper look into the culture and beauty of loch swimming. Grab a cup of tea, get cozy, and dive into the stories
