Customer Reviews
A great book - Rated Having read all the previous reviews there is little left for me to add. This is a marvellous achievement and a great contribution towards making open water swimming accepted in the UK as, indeed it is everywhere else in the world. Congratulations to Kate for flowing (sorry..) text and to Dominick for some stunning photography Attractive and useful, but more info would help - Rated This is a gorgeous, well-written and well-presented book. The author's genuine emotional involvement in outdoor swimming is evident and infectious and, knowing some of the places she describes, I'm with her. I have two gripes which cost the book a star: some fantastic sites are missing, and some gazetteer information (like maps) would be helpful. Don't let that put you off - it's a fine book anyway. If you do want more, Wild Swimming (Wild Swimming: 150 Hidden Dips in the Rivers, Lakes and Waterfalls of Britain) is a good companion. It's more of a simple guide, but touches on some places that 'Wild Swim' doesn't and has more navigation info Very good, needs more info though - Rated Very good, but "arty" For us non-natives, more maps and landmarks would be helpful. Nice photos! Driving instructions, opening times, and other resources (bathing house, tea rooms) would have made this book perfect. I did enjoy the Malham Tarn swim, but had trouble finding the place. lyrical genius - Rated Kate Rew is quite simply a lyrical genius - a unique voice - on every page of Wild Swim you can smell, taste and feel the water and the elements she describes ... it's magical, poetic and funny at the same time. Descriptive genius.....now where did I leave my goggles? - Rated "Wild Swim" is a must have book for water lovers everywhere! If you love the outdoor life and have a sense of adventure, you will discover many stunning swimming spots that will inspire you and make you feel alive. If, on the other hand you prefer a more sedentary lifestyle, the book is worth having simply to enjoy Kate Rew's beautiful descriptions and amusing anecdotes of her trips around the UK in search of the perfect swim. Dominick Tyler's photography is stunning and compliments the text well, inspiring the reader to dig out the goggles (togs optional) and get out there. Unlike most guide books this one really is worth reading cover to cover.
