Ocean swimming... with the wild swimming brothers

Wild swimming is something of a cousin to ocean swimming. Or is ocean swimming a subset of wild swimming? Either way, wild swimming is huge across the world, and particularly in the UK and Europe. It's also often stunningly beautiful - search #wildswimming on instagram (instagram.com/explore/tags/wildswimming) and you'll see what I mean.

Calum Hudson (twitter.com/c_t_hudson) is the middle brother of The Wild Swimming Brothers (thewildswimmingbrothers.com) , triathlete,Ice swimmer (thepodpodcast.net/e/ocean-swimming-in-ice) , author, nature love, swimming advocate and wild swimmer. He has swum the world's most powerful maelstroms (thewildswimmingbrothers.com/swims) , escaped Alcatraz and swum between continents. The Wild Swimming Brothers started with a 140 km swim down the River Eden, as you do! We had a wonderful chat about the whole gamut of things that make up the world of wild swimming.
