Fancy Swim Stuff

I am so inspired by the creativity and passion I see displayed on all the women’s swimming and plunging Facebook pages. I want to share the unique swim items people are making and selling. Please get in touch with your favorite sites! (Photo courtesy of Ocean Flora.)

Gear

‘m compiling a list of gear, everything from goggles to gear bags. Feel free to send me your favs, and I will list them here.

Swim Art

One of the things I love about wild swimming is the community of women I’ve met. Another is seeing how our water experiences can be shared via photography, painting, drawing. Check these links to see artists, crafters, and more.

Swim Vacays

My dream is to road trip around the UK and meet up with other women for swims! Then branch out to other locations around the world. I’m working on this list of great places for swim vacations. Please feel free to share info or suggest locations/events.
