In this blog, we share our Christmas ideas for swimmers with you, so that you can get the most of your cold water swimming experience all year round.

We’d like to introduce you to Zee and Ant, whom we’ve entered into a creative collaboration with. They are now supporting the Wild Swimming Cornwall project with their photography, which we think encapsulates the magic of wild swimming and showcases the beauty of the Cornish coastline.

The festive season is a time when we can tap into the community elements of wild swimming, as we join those in our local area for a Christmas, Boxing Day or New Year dip. Each year, a number of casually arranged swims take place across the beaches of the county. Each is open to participation by all, regardless of swimming ability. If you’d like to take part, take a look at the list below to find a festive swim near you.

During the height of summer, in an attempt to escape the crowds of holiday makers, we took off on a week-long adventure. We left on a boat, in search of the last truly wild places in Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly.

Dom Smith is both an artist and an oceanographer. He’s forging a unique career that explores the inter-section between between science and creativity. We’re fascinated by his work, and his unique view of the natural world, so we caught up with him to find out more.
