Safety
Swimming outdoors is such a joyful experience, but the sea, lakes and rivers all come with risks. Please do your research before entering the water. Please see below link for useful tips from the Outdoor Swimmer website.

We welcome all levels of experience but expect everybody to be responsible for their own safety and make sure they don’t do more than they are capable of. We happily welcome paddlers and those who want to have a splash in the waves as well as those who would rather stay dry on the beach.
