A really important, inspiring book, written by someone at the heart
of the outdoor swimming movement that -- over the last fifteen
years -- has encouraged millions of people to experience the
wonders and friendships of Britain's rivers, lakes and seas. Rew's
book combines hard-won, deeply researched information on how to
swim safely and joyfully out-of-doors, with vivid first-hand
accounts of swims in astonishing places and with remarkable people.
Read on. Dive in.
