Swimming

Is there anything quite so exhilarating as swimming in wild water? This is a joyful swimming tour of Britain; a frog’s-eye view of the country’s best bathing holes – the rivers; rock pools; lakes; ponds; lochs and sea that define a watery island. Charming; funny; inspiring; an assertion of the native swimmer's right to roam; a celebration of the magic of water – this book will indeed make you want to strip off and leap in.
