Wild Swimming

The fitness and meditative benefits of swimming are well-known but there’s something about connecting with nature by doing it outdoors that is both calming and deeply invigorating for both the body and mind.   

This is particularly enjoyable at the Hampstead Heath Mens Pond, where during winter swimming at 3 degrees centigrade it was noticed that in addition to the mantra ‘Ice Ice Baby, half the usual swimming area of the pond was covered in ice. Thus a 10 minute circuit was achieved rather than usual 20 minutes, with extremities protected by gloves, booties and diving pants, with the background cries of first timers who only lasted for a minute to so.
