About
'An important, inspiring book by someone that has encouraged million of people to experience the wonders and friendships of Britain's rivers, lakes and seas' Robert Macfarlane
When swimming we are part of the planet and all the elements again, in a place where moons wane, storms swell and life ebbs and flows throughout the seasons.
With the unique blend of art, sport and science that has been the hallmark of The Outdoor Swimming Society movement, founder Kate Rew reveals everything you need to know to explore rivers, lakes, seas and estuaries. Sharing freewheeling tales of her own pioneering swims, Kate explores the rich and varied life of outdoor swimmers, from the physiology of cold to planning lazy hazy downstream swims.
Featuring evocative photography and richly illustrated marine and freshwater field guides, this handbook blends practical advice with vivid stories. A must-have guide for beginners and enthusiasts alike, The Outdoor Swimmers' Handbook will take you to the shore, launch you into the water and be an indispensable companion for adventures ahead.
