April wild swim, pt. 3. The blue waters belied the temperamental weather, with rain merging with the ponds. From leaping fish to a tame jackdaw we saw plenty of wildlife. Water temp 11.4°C taken in Pool Bridge Farm by @local.dialect

April wild swim pt2. Only 3 of us do all the ponds, finding the final somehow milder, we swim under a low bridge and linger a while, enjoying the silky smooth smooth waters amongst the birds and between the trees taken in Pool Bridge Farm by @local.dialect

April sees a birthday wild swim, dragging people with me to celebrate. Multiple pools and a sauna, means multiple dips in the silky waters. 11.5°C water temp is still pretty icy. taken in Pool Bridge Farm by @local.dialect

March pt2. Handing Dad the camera for this one. Fresh and crisp, enlivening like only water can. Running purple and bloody red, but mostly ecstatic. A swim with another new accomplice taken in Robin Hood's Bay by @local.dialect

March wild swim. Back up North for a dip at Robin Hood’s Bay. Low tide meant a big build up as we tried to find a place to get far enough in to actually swim

The rain fall leaves pin pricks on the water, as the sea meets the river meets the sky

Light drizzle but big smiles, having found the swimming spot we desired. A far longer swim than January, up to 10.1°C for the water temperature.

February Wild Swim. A trip to Cornwall and a swim in the Helford River, beneath Monterey pines and craggy cliffs, in water taut and cool.

Cold water swimming brings instant mental clarity, and a big smile. On this occasion I swam round the next jetty and back, but that’s all it takes sometimes

2.8°C water temperature. When the water is this cold it feels like bathing in granita, and my knees turned purple upon exiting

This year I set myself the target of going for a wild swim every month. It should be a new place each month, so I started with Hampstead Heath, at the Highgate Men’s Bathing Pond, which would act as a base location, one I could return to between new swims. On a chilly January afternoon I made my first swim
