WHY WE LOVE WILD WATER

Winny Poaty @winniepoaty:

“The thing I find great about swimming is that it’s great for my physical health but even better for my mental health. I love my time in water: the open space, the scenery… it’s the time you are truly one with nature. Swimming has changed my life, and helped me realise that the world is bigger than I thought. Through swimming I’ve met the most incredible humans. It connects us with one another, one stroke at a time.”

“Not all swimming is the same. A dunk in the cold is quite different from the longdistance summer adventures that tick me into a sort of meditation calmness. Maybe it can be summed up in that basic, raw feeling you get from a dunk in wild water: the feeling of truly being alive.”
