Swim Wild: Dive into the natural world and discover your inner adventurer

Meet Jack, Calum and Robbie Hudson, three brothers born and raised exploring the wild outdoors. Growing up they discovered the simple joy of whiling away the seasons jumping off hay stacks and lake swimming with friends. As they got older, they started to notice that folk, including themselves, were growing increasingly more detached from nature. Working in cities, they began to feel the weight of life in the urban grind, the common monotony of nine-to-five, during which the only wildlife around is the occasional pigeon. It seemed like everything they'd done as kids was fading, so they decided to change their course. Suddenly the Wild Swimming Brothers was born.From tackling the 145km winding River Eden to setting the world record for swimming in the Arctic, join them on their preparation for these expeditions, including sourcing unexpected wild training spots in the heart of sprawling cities. And with everything they've learned, they give tips for those wanting to take on their own aquatic foray, whether a beginner or a seasoned swimmer. This book will show you – whatever your age or experience – how you can take part in the joy of open water swimming and reconnect with the natural world wonders around you.
