Notes on Vulnerability: Why We Swim Wild

Wim Hof, woolly hats, free the nipple and numb extremities... wild swimming and cold water swimming make up one huge trend right now. But what is it really like to get up at 6am and plunge yourself into the freezing cold of a sea, lake or pond? In this episode I'm talking to Hen and Claudia - the @wildswimgirls (Insta). From 6am Stockholm swims to accidental rock climbing in Cornwall and the science of just doing it badly we're covering all the adventures and challenges that making this part of your life entails - as well as getting some awesome advice from (pretty much) the professionals. 

Just a note: we reference a study about cold water and dementia as being carried out with the Serpentine swimmers but it was actually the Parliament Hill swimmers (sorry guys).
