Diary of a wandering swimmer - a weekend of clarity
After living in London for 30 years, Kate Gillwood decided to up sticks and leave behind her busy life in the city. Now living in Edinburgh and minutes away from Portobello beach, she loves to
explore new swimming spots and to share what she finds along the way. Here's Kate, on her latest swimming adventure.
Lake swim your way through 2020
If most of your outdoor swimming is either in the lido or the sea, why not switch up your usual dip and
try a lake swim in some of the planet’s most beautiful backdrops? From shorter freshwater swims around Europe such as a trip exploring the Lake District, to an unusual Salt River canyon-lined swim in Arizona, the world of lake swimming with SwimTrek is incredibly varied and exciting. Surrounded by mountainous backdrops, forested countryside
or rolling green hills, come and discover a whole new way to swim the world.
