Born to Swim Wild: A journal to write all your open water swimming adventures in, whether it’s ocean or sea swims or lake or river swims, it’s always … benefits to your…

A perfect place to remember your wild swimming adventures, jot down words and experiences, note who you were with, the time of year, the time of day, how you felt before, during and after. A 6″ x 9″ book with feint wavy lines and a feint fish motif that can be easily written over but can also provoke a doodle or two, randomly throughout the book there are blank pages with a cute fish or two to just remind you of your oceanic, lakeside encounters. Those incredible once in a life time experiences that occur when you are at one with nature, swimming at sunrise or sunset in fresh water are worth recording. The poetry it inspires in your soul and the clarity of thought that occurs. Include the research you do, the places you fantasise of swimming in, the local lake, the great rivers or tropical oceans or off the coast of freezing Iceland. Note down the recommendations and keep your dreams on paper, give yourself some targets for how many swims you’ll complete this year and how you hope you will feel, mentally and physically once you complete your goals. Keep a note of your kit and the local amenities nearby, a fantastic local cafe where you can get a great, warming coffee afterwards (nothing tastes better!) or a local bar with a refreshing bar to hang out in while you dry off. This journal will record your swims and inform your swims, you, or someone you know was ” Born to Swim Wild”
